1980 - 1987
Establishing Support Among Practitioners
Since 1980, PD Practitioners were meeting in their regional groups to share ideas and collaborate. At a 1987 community partner conference in Anaheim, Northern and Southern PD Practitioners decided to semi-formally keep in contact to support one another's activities, even publishing a position paper together in the National Council for Staff Program and Organizational Development (NCSPOD).
​
In addition to the paper in NCSPOD, PD Practitioners were collaborating and presenting at statewide conferences including the Community College League of California (CCLC) and NCSPOD.
The Beginnings of 4CSD with the First Executive Council
In 1989, it was decided that three PD representatives from Northern California would serve as an Executive Council to prepare a formal proposal to the State's Chancellor's Office (CCCCO). The organizational model of 4CSD was born.

Community Expansion through a More Representative Board
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were adopted in 1992 and 4CPD became incorporated as a non-profit in 1994. Board membership was increased to 10 seats.
The Beginnings of 4CSD with the First Executive Council
After publishing a series of supporting material for PD Practitioners, including a Staff Development Handbook in 1996, 4CSD was awarded a grant by the CCCCO to develop a summer institute for PD Practitioners in 2000. This grant also allowed for the creation of statewide Leadership Development Institutes and Department Chair Institutes.

Innovating for PD Practitioners through Technology
4CSD garnered attention from the CCCCO, the Board of Governors and the state legislators which laid the groundwork for securing Professional Development funds. Skillsoft Software was offered by the CCCCO in 2003 to all the colleges in our system.
