The Center for Intercultural Dialogue operates under the auspices of the Council of Communication Associations (Washington, DC, USA).
The Council of Communication Associations (CCA) is an umbrella organization for 9 national and international communication associations based in the USA.
CID was originally intended to serve members of CCA member associations, although many individuals who are not members of any of these now follow the site, and participate in various ways, and we are delighted to have them.
Member associations include:
American Journalism Historians Association
Founded in 1981, the American Journalism Historians Association (AJHA) exists to foster research of journalism history, to provide a forum, and to be a resource. The association defines journalism in its broadest sense to encompass a wide range of mass communication studies.
Association for Business Communication
The Association for Business Communication (ABC) is an international, interdisciplinary organization committed to advancing business communication research, education, and practice.

The Association’s mission is to promote the highest possible standards for journalism and mass communication education, to cultivate the widest possible range of communication research, to encourage the implementation of a multi-cultural society in the classroom and curriculum, and to defend and maintain freedom of communication in an effort to achieve better professional practice and a better informed public.
