ASCD invites connected communities to participate in the Authors Forum, created to help connected communities promote professional learning opportunities for their geographic area.

Connected communities can design events around select ASCD book authors, such as seminars, book chats, book signings, book clubs, or presentations. Authors will receive no consulting fee for their services, but connected communities will be responsible for reimbursing authors for their travel, hotel, and meal expenses. All bookings will be arranged through Constituent Services.

All ASCD connected communities are invited to participate in the Authors Forum, which allows ASCD authors and connected communities to develop collaborative relationships and involves connected communities in the ASCD community through the promotion of ASCD products, programs, and services.

A listing of the current Authors Forum participants, including their travel and presentation format preferences, can be viewed by downloading the Authors Forum Brochure( 422KB).
