Local chapter update: Send meeting plans to ACDIS, reach new attendees

ACDIS national is here to support local chapter events, helping your networking group reach new attendees and carry out successful events—large and small. The ACDIS leadership team is happy to sit in on your leadership meetings and event planning calls. One of the most everyday ways we can help your chapter succeed, however, is by publicizing your event in CDI Strategies, on the dedicated chapter pages, and on our social media platforms.

In order to help spread the news, though, chapter leaders need to send the following event details to ACDIS national:

• Date and time of event
• Location of the event
• Event contact person
• RSVP information or event flyers (if applicable)
• Any other relevant agenda items as desired

These details should be sent to Associate Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas, Editor Linnea Archibald, and Associate Editor Carolyn Riel. If you’re planning to apply for CCDS/CCDS-O continuing education credits for your event, you can send all the details to us at the same time.

We look forward to hearing about your next event and helping you make it as successful as possible.

Editor’s note: 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 Varnavas (mvarnavas@acdis.org), Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org), and Riel (criel@acdis.org).
