Local chapter update: ACDIS takes a road trip
Take a look at the list of upcoming events below and you’ll note that the fall has been a busy one for our volunteer ACDIS chapter leaders across the country. Last week, Missouri held it’s big meeting with more than 100 people in attendance and there are half a dozen events coming up this week. And the ACDIS sales and administrative teams are taking to the road to visit a few of them. ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas heads out to California with ACDIS Solutions Specialist Angie Herrin and Enterprise Sales Executive Caison Morisey is headed to Texas.
We are very excited to be there on the ground at these local events. Local chapter leaders work very hard throughout the year planning local meetings and networking events, and we’re happy to play some small measure in supporting their efforts. We’ll take lots of pictures and promise to report back all the amazing lessons we learn while we’re away.
The following is a list of upcoming events for ACDIS local chapters. If you have an upcoming event you would like to include, please email Melissa Varnavas (mvarnavas@acdis.org) and Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org).
