You are the face of SD! Bring the dialogue home & to your friends to
be an agent of change

SD leaders, you represent the backbone of Sustained Dialogue on your campus. You are not only the spokesperson for SD, but also the engine that makes it all possible. Your team consists of a diverse group of committed leaders who take on the tasks and responsibilities necessary to manage a student-run

organization. As leaders of a dialogue program, know that you are part of a movement towards bringing lasting change to campuses and communities across the country.

One aspect of Sustained Dialogue is running the logistics of a student organization. This constitutes planning recruitment, maintaining a budget, and keeping a record of meeting minutes to name a few. This area of leadership is where the most flexibility lies in terms of structure. Logistics and organizational needs can be managed by one person, but as your organization continues to grow, you will need several others to get the job done.

While the rest of the leadership team helps out with organization and logistics, only 1 or 2 people are necessary to manage the dialogue component of your SD program. This entails recruiting moderators, helping run moderator training, facilitating the moderator meetings, reporting to SDCN for updates and support, and making sure all moderators and participants receive pertinent emails, announcements, and e-newsletters from SDCN.

"Sustained Dialogue has challenged me to step out of the boundaries set by my own surface assumptions about other people. I have become comfortable talking about issues of race, gender, religion, and the relationships that are encompassed by these issues. Without Sustained Dialogue it would have taken me many more years to arrive where I am today. It has been an amazing experience, and has only fueled my determination in creating an environment where issues can be discussed at the dinner table rather than swept under the rug."
