Local chapter update: New policy for ACDIS local chapter updates

October 22, 2020
CDI Strategies - Volume 14, Issue 48

In order to keep the process of updating the event list in CDI Strategies newsletter and on the local chapter page on the ACDIS website streamlined, we will be implementing a new process for informing the ACDIS staff of your local chapter meetings.

The first Monday of each month, chapter leaders will receive an email from ACDIS Associate Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org), asking for any chapter updates or upcoming meetings. At this time, you will have until Friday of the same week to respond with any of your local chapter updates, meetings, newsletters, etc. Any updates received after this submission deadline will not be included in CDI Strategies newsletters or updated on the ACDIS local chapter page until the next month’s submission period.

Please refrain from sending updates outside of the submission period, as they will not be added until the following month’s submission time. For any questions, please contact Carolyn Riel at criel@acdis.org.

The following is a list of upcoming events for ACDIS local chapters. To join a chapter if you haven’t already or to update your chapter contact information/affiliation, click here.
