ACDIS update: Boards and committees call for volunteers

ACDIS’ volunteer boards and committees are the heartbeat of our organization. The people serving in these groups provide best-practice guidance, review materials for publication, advocate on behalf of the association’s members, plan celebrations and appreciation programs, and much more.

Not only do these committee members make a difference for the ACDIS community, but they widen their own professional and personal networks through their terms of service. Each committee has eight to 12 members from all professional and personal backgrounds, geographic locations, and organization types.

Right now, ACDIS is calling for volunteer applications for three of our committees. We truly believe that our committees represent a microcosm of the broader ACDIS environment—a place where CDI professionals can meet, learn, network, and collaborate with peers.

If you’ve been on the fence about committee service before, now’s the time to jump in. Take a look at the committees currently accepting new members and apply today:

• The ACDIS Events Committee: Plan ACDIS in-person and virtual events in collaboration with the ACDIS administration to meet the needs of CDI specialists personal and professionals education and networking needs in light of the changing landscape due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Furthering Education Committee: Maintaining and updating the ACDIS CDI Scholarship Program and planning for the annual CDI Week activities.
• Diversity and Inclusion Task Force: To strive to make CDI a community that embodies social responsibility through promoting a positive environment of greater diversity and inclusion across all cultures, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, and educational backgrounds, to break the silence that accompanies discrimination and inequity, and to ensure that all feel valued, empowered, and welcomed.
