Local chapter update: Preferred format to send your newsletters

January 14, 2021
CDI Strategies - Volume 15, Issue 2

ACDIS national is always happy to publish chapter newsletters, “save the date” flyers, or other documents to your local chapter or networking group page on the website. However, we do prefer documents saved in PDF format to streamline the process of uploading documents to the ACDIS website and avoid reformatting complications. When possible, avoid sending documents saved in Word format or PowerPoint.

If you have questions or need instructions for the best way to save files as a PDF, contact ACDIS editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org).
