ACDIS update: Your voice matters—Vote in the 2021 ACDIS advisory board election

If you’ve ever read one of our position papers or white papers, listened to an ACDIS quarterly conference call, or attended an advisory board panel at the national conference, then you know the crucial role the ACDIS advisory board plays in the leadership of our association and the greater CDI profession.

That’s why we need ACDIS members to take a few minutes for a very important duty: Voting in the next group of board members.

This year we have eight finalists who have stepped up to run and volunteer their time and energy. They deserve to have our members make an informed choice and cast their votes. This year, members will be electing two new RN/other clinical candidates (out of a pool of four candidates), one new MD candidate (out of a pool of two candidates), and one HIM/coding candidate (out of a pool of two candidates). The top vote-getters will be elected by popular vote of the ACDIS membership for terms effective April 2021 through April 2024.

It’s an important responsibility that we hope you take a few minutes to fulfill. The process is simple: Log into the website, view our voting page (open to ACDIS members only), review the candidates’ bios and election statements, and cast your votes here. Voting runs through 5:00 p.m. eastern on Monday, April 5, 2021. Note that the voting mechanism for each category appears after the candidates’ bios and personal statements.

You can read more about our board members and their complete scope of work on the boards and committees page.
