This group was formed to help NCDDers from the Mid-Atlantic states to network and share region-specific information. The Mid-Atlantic region includes Washington D.C. and parts of its surrounding states (DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, WV).
We wanted to create one group that every NCDD member is a part of, so we can provide a space where all members can take part in discussions here in the members network.
