Program Development Committee

The Program Development Committee (PDC) is comprised of experts in the intersection of global education and early career talent development.  This committee collaborates with CIEE leadership to develop the content for a GIC that reflects the intent of the conference and delivers valuable learning and engagements to participants.  Committee members help to organize the sessions and recruit speakers.  We thank these amazing experts for volunteering their time for the benefit of all colleagues working to expand global work integrating learning for young people everywhere. 

With the work of this committee, there will not be an open call for proposals for GIC 2023.  However, there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved with the conference including our new Unconference segment where participants have an opportunity to lead hot topic discussions. 

If you are interested in contributing ideas, speaker suggestions or leading an Unconference session, we invite you to share them with us at GIC@ciee.org for the committee’s consideration.
