Updates from the Instructor Development Committee
The Workshops Team will be taking over IDC support next year. As part of this transition, we are examining our current offboarding and onboarding processes for the committee. The following are next steps:

• We will recruit new members of the IDC in January 2022 and plan to onboard them in February 2022. Current IDC members will support selection of new members from the applicant pool and attend the first meeting of the new cohort.

• Existing IDC members will be offboarded at the end of October so they do not have to serve beyond the time they initially committed to. This will leave a gap in service between November 2021-January 2022, but members of the Core Team have agreed to support committee activities during this transition period as needed.
