Professional Credentials
|
Since 2023, CCID has offered a unique opportunity for faculty and scholar practitioners to earn a professional credential that reflects the deep learning and engagement they experienced at the conference across various topical tracks. This program is known as the Faculty Certification Program.
While this program is designed for faculty, non-faculty may participate as well. The focus of selected events, regardless of track, is primarily on teaching, learning and curriculum. Conference attendees earn points by attending specially-recognized sessions addressing these topics using the conference mobile app. Those who complete the program are awarded a certificate and digital badge. Expand your professional development in more ways than one at the CCID Annual Conference! |

Plenary Speakers
We are excited to present our plenary speakers for the 49th Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. Our plenary guests reflect a wealth of experience in educational exchange, peace-building, government service and diplomatic affairs. They bring perspectives both from within, and just outside, the Beltway in the heart of our nation’s capital. We look forward to hosting all of our conference attendees in community as we forge both new and familiar paths ahead.

Clinton D. White was the Counselor for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and served in the U.S. Foreign Service for more than 20 years. Counselor White served the U.S. government in the Caribbean, Egypt, Pakistan, Senegal and Ghana. He worked with national and municipal governments and a range of private-sector and civil-society groups, including those representing women, youth, and marginalized communities, in their efforts to improve the lives of families, communities, and countries. He is committed to the goals of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility where everyone has an opportunity to thrive. He is a strong advocate for the rights and inclusion of underrepresented populations in the development process. Counselor White announced a new partnership between USAID and CCID that focused on opportunities in green skilling, artificial intelligence, community/technical/vocational college student pathways to public service, environmental and social sustainability, access and opportunity for formerly incarcerated students, internships, virtual exchange programs and promoting the value of Career Technical Education (CTE) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to strengthen both local and global economies.

Conference Venue
Situated within the Port Royal Plantation on the Atlantic Ocean, the recently renovated four-diamond resort offers discerning travelers an upscale oceanfront escape along the scenic Lowcountry coast of South Carolina. It begins with our spacious, thoughtfully designed guestrooms, which are designed to reflect their coastal Carolina setting. Guests enjoy the array of inspired amenities available at our Hilton Head Island resort, including private beach access, three beautiful swimming pools and four on-site restaurants. Children love spending time at the Westin Family Kids Club, while parents escape to the Heavenly Spa by Westin™ for a rejuvenating massage. We also offer hotel guests access to the adjacent Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club for championship golf and tennis. If you're hosting a meeting or wedding on Hilton Head Island, look no further than our 37,000 square feet of flexible venue space, including our newly-opened Grand Ocean Terrace, which boasts sweeping ocean views.
