Local chapter update: What is your chapter doing over the holidays?

December 17, 2020

CDI Strategies - Volume 14, Issue 56

Traditionally, we know many local chapters and networking groups do what they can to give back during the holiday season. Some chapters run a Toys for Tots donation fund, others might organize a food drive, while some may donate to local charities in their area. This year, giving back what you can is even more important than ever with so many folks out of work and still being affected by the pandemic.

Is your chapter planning to do anything to give back this year? Share your plans with ACDIS associate editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org) for a chance to be featured in an upcoming local chapter update for the CDI Strategies newsletter.
