Local chapter update: Tell us your in-person meeting plans

As stay-at-home orders are eased, small in-person gatherings are starting to resume again, and organizations are putting new travel policies in place. While the ACDIS 2021 Annual Conference is set to take place in-person in Dallas, Texas, May 17-20, we’re curious about your plans for any in-person local chapter meetings as we move into 2021.

If you’re planning to have an in-person event, reach out to ACDIS Associate Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org) and let her know your meeting plans as well as what you will be doing to keep everyone socially distanced and safe.

Please also take a few minutes to take this 10-question survey about your organization and their plans for travel and CDI education coming up this next year.
