Local chapter update: New process for submitting newsletters

March 31, 2022
CDI Strategies - Volume 16, Issue 13

If you attended the leadership call last week, you’ll know that we have a new process for submitting requests from the ACDIS leadership team. If you missed the call, you can find more information about the new process here.

From now on, leaders looking to request the below information should do so by submitting to the leadership request form, which can be found on the main local chapter page. Through this new form, you can:

  • 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

Included in this form is the ability to request a newsletter or other document be added to your chapter page.

To do this, simply select “update information on the local chapter page” after submitting your chapter, name, facility, and email address. On the next page, select “add a newsletter/document.” From there, you will be prompted to upload the desired document.

From there someone from the ACDIS team will upload it to your chapter page in roughly seven business days.

For questions or comments on the new leadership request form, contact ACDIS Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas (acdis-inquiries@simplifycompliance.com).
