Local chapter update: New method for requesting information

March 24, 2022
CDI Strategies - Volume 16, Issue 12

ACDIS is implementing a new method for local chapter leaders to go about requesting information. Instead of sending emails directly to the national team, you will now be able to make all requests using a simple online survey.

The ACDIS Local Chapter Leadership Request survey allows you to:

  • Request your local chapter or networking group roster
  • Request information be updated on the chapter page (such as leadership names or email addresses)
  • Request the addition of a meeting to the chapter page and in CDI Strategies
  • Apply for CEUs
  • Make additional requests

Please do note that an ACDIS national member will only be checking the survey for requests on a weekly basis, so you should expect request deliverables to take up to seven days to get back to you. Also note that you are still required to submit applications for CEUs 30 days before the event is to take place. Applications submitted less than 30 days before an event are not guaranteed to receive CEU approval before the event.

Should you have an immediate need (to set up a call with ACDIS national, etc.,) please reach out to ACDIS Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas (acdis-inquiries@simplifycompliance.com).
