The CDC is a community of APPA members that focus on cybersecurity as a vital part of their operations. CDC meetings provide updates on APPA and cooperative agreements, industry trends, events of note, and provides a space to collaborate and communicate with peer organizations. The CDC has monthly virtual meetings to convey this information.  The CDC regularly invites guest speakers to these meetings to talk about various topics that are of interest to CDC members and about various cybersecurity topics.
