Editor’s note: Data shows where you’ve been, where you’ll go

by Linnea Archibald
​Those on the ACDIS team know that I am a huge data nerd. Each month, part of my job is to analyze ACDIS’ website data to identify our membership’s needs and interests, helping us shape our offerings and better serve members’ needs. While talking to members one-on-one or through our boards and committees on a regular basis provides us with the individual stories and experiences to help shape our educational efforts, data provides an invaluable backing to those stories and a benchmark against which to measure future interests, needs, and success.
