The D8 Council was created so all branches within the district would have an equal voice and access to resources available to all branches including:

  • a continuity for how a D8 is run by creating a history for what works and what doesn’t from year to year;
  • a Speakers bureau pooling expertise of all branches and vendors;
  • greater communication between branches within the district;
  • study groups for certification preparation prior to a directed training session at D8
  • establishing scholarships or a site for scholarship information to be readily available
  • resource for information on how to write a paper, poster, or reference

Our Mission

  • To allow the branches to come together and hold an educational and informative meeting for technicians and others
  • To hold a cost effective meeting full of shareable knowledge that can be taken back to home facilities
  • To pass along new techniques presented in papers, posters, workshops and tours

The D8 Council benefits us all by:

  • increasing communication through use of a listserv and website;
  • creating a speakers bureau from the larger pool of expertise that 11 branches collectively hold;
  • increasing the number of attendees by standardizing the setting of the D8 meeting and reducing the cost of attending
  • make use of the readily available vendor resource of expertise increasing vendor satisfaction and visibility...dedicated vendor time
