CCSGO Support and Endorsement for Conferences

CCSGO is committed to advancing the study and practice of Group Relations by supporting high-quality Group Relations Conferences within the Tavistock and A.K. Rice traditions.

In addition to conferences developed and sponsored by CCSGO, the organization may endorse independently organized Group Relations Conferences that are consistent with CCSGO's mission and educational principles.

What is a CCSGO Endorsed Group Relations Conference?

A CCSGO Endorsed Group Relations Conference is an independently organized conference that CCSGO has determined to be consistent with the educational principles of Group Relations and the mission of CCSGO.

Endorsement recognizes the conference's alignment with these principles while acknowledging that responsibility for the conference remains with its organizers.
