Local chapter update: Get an ACDIS membership discount when you fill out the chapter roster!

Have you thought about joining an ACDIS local chapter or networking group but don’t know how? Any CDI professional is welcome to complete the local chapter roster form to receive communications from their nearest local chapter or relevant networking group, where you’ll be asked for things such as your contact information and interest in participation.

Additionally, chapter and networking group members who complete the roster form are given access to a special discount code for ACDIS national membership!

Chapter leaders, to maintain a list of active chapter members, please remind current chapter members to complete the form again whenever contact information needs to be updated. Leaders can best take advantage of this information by requesting an updated roster from the national ACDIS team on a regular basis through the Chapter Leadership Request Form
