Communities of Practice


A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common problem, set of issues, or interest in a topic to accomplish individual and group goals. The Society for Diversity’s Communities of Practice (CoP) Programs allow individual members to share a concern or passion by virtually leading and participating in their respective CoPs.
