Our History

CSTA has launched several Affinity Groups to help create communities based on identity/demographic information. In the fall of 2020, a Pride Affinity Group was launched, with an eventual space on the CSTA Virtual Community, meet-ups, and spaces at CSTA events. Following this group with the launch of the CSTA Community, a form was created to apply to create an Affinity Group that would, in turn, have space on the virtual community, meet-ups, and spaces at CSTA events.
