ACDIS update: Leadership Council applications close in one week on Thursday, August 31!

CDI Strategies - Volume 17, Issue 34

Are you a CDI leader who would like to meet, connect, and network with other leaders across the country?

Then submit an application to join the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council! Applications for the fifth council term (2023/2024) are open for one more week through Thursday, August 31!

By joining the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council, members are granted access to the following features:

  • Research insights: The Council is powered by member research and intelligence on mission-critical CDI subjects. Throughout the year, members take up to eight sponsor and editor-designed surveys on topics essential to their work and receive early access to research findings.  
  • Virtual network building: With an exclusive online community and bimonthly members-only calls, plus small-group professional matchmaking opportunities, Council members have unprecedented, ongoing access to fellow CDI leaders who share their enthusiasm for peer exchange and bring fresh perspective to business challenges and opportunities. 
  • Custom experiences: Council members receive exclusive invitations to opportunities tailored to their areas of interest and expertise, such as the annual CDI Leadership Exchange, which brings together up to 40 industry leaders for roundtable-style idea swapping, problem solving, and networking in a resort setting. Eligible members are also able to apply for an ACDIS Leadership Council Mastermind group annually. Mastermind groups consist of eight to 10 members who agree to meet on a bimonthly basis to discuss member-submitted topics. 

There’s no cost to join the Council and you need not be an ACDIS member either. There is also no restriction to the number of consecutive years an individual serves on the Council (provided they continue to meet the eligibility and participation requirements) and we do not cap the number of individuals from a single organization.

In order to join the Council for the 2023/2024 term, you must simply fulfill the following criteria:

  • Be a current CDI leader with supervisory responsibilities (over staff, educational, or department decisions) employed by a healthcare provider organization. Eligible titles include, but are not limited to:
    • CDI VP/executive director
    • CDI director
    • CDI manager
    • CDI supervisor
    • CDI lead
    • CDI auditor/educator
    • Physician advisor
    • Medical director of CDI
  • Be able to meet the following participation requirements for the membership term of September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024:
    • Complete at least 75% of surveys offered during your membership term. (See the “Survey Schedule and Process Details” section below for additional information.)
    • Provide and reconfirm membership eligibility and professional details as requested. Inform Council management of any changes in circumstances that may impact eligibility status as soon as possible.
    • Grant permission for HCPro and ACDIS to share your contact information and aggregated survey response data with Council sponsors.

If you were a member of the Leadership Council in 2022/2023, do note that we are asking all current Council members to submit their information through the application, regardless of whether they met the participation requirements for the 2022/2023 term. This will ensure we have your most up-to-date information on file and that you still meet the eligibility requirements.

For those eligible, we encourage you to apply and join this inspiring group of CDI leaders! The application period closes August 31, after which applicants will be notified of membership appointments in early September.

If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to us at info@acdis.org.
