From Dr. Juan McGruder, Andre Dowell, and members of the Advisory Committee of the Men of Color in Development Affinity Group:
Dear AADO Members,
We can't believe it's been a year since the African American Development Officers Network (AADO) launched the Men of Color in Development (MOCID) Affinity Group, the first official group. It's been an incredible journey, and we're amazed that Men of Color in Development now has over 200+ members representing a wide variety of professions worldwide. All of our success is attributed to the support and feedback our members have provided us, so as a thank you, the African American Development Officers Network (AADO) is sponsoring our virtual celebration. We look forward to sharing parts of our group's history, hearing some member stories, and, most importantly, highlighting our esteemed success.
