ACDIS update: Last day to apply for an ACDIS committee position

If you’ve been thinking about it but are still undecided, today is your last chance to apply for a volunteer ACDIS committee position! Our boards and committees provide volunteers with ample opportunity to learn, network, teach, and collaborate on a new level within the ACDIS community, as well as impact their own CDI programs for the better. If you’re looking to get more involved, this is the perfect way!

ACDIS committees each have eight to 12 members, who serve anywhere from one to three years depending on the committee. While each committee has different responsibilities, they share in the goal to represent the community at large. For that reason, we’re looking for a diverse group of individuals from all professional and personal backgrounds, geographic locations, and organization types. No matter who you are, your perspective and contribution could be just the thing we need.

Until 11:59 p.m. this evening, ACDIS is taking volunteer applications for the following committees:

• 2023 Events Committee: Tasked with planning ACDIS in-person and virtual events in collaboration with the ACDIS administration to meet CDI specialists personal and professional education and networking needs in light of the changing landscape.
• Furthering Education Committee: Responsible for maintaining and updating the ACDIS CDI Scholarship Program and planning for the annual CDI Week activities.
• ACDIS Regulatory Committee: Reviews regulatory policy and coding and clinical updates, comments to agencies on behalf of ACDIS, and provides summary, interpretation, and analysis to the ACDIS membership.
• Diversity and Inclusion Task Force: Strives 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.

If you are ready to get more involved, make sure to fill out the requested information this evening. Applicants will be informed of committee decisions in early July. We look forward to reviewing your application!
