Local chapter update: How to have your chapter newsletters posted on the ACDIS website

Chapter newsletters allow leaders to communicate updates, meeting recaps, and chapter needs to their members easily and in a centralized place. If you plan on sending out a chapter newsletter, you can also have that newsletter posted to your chapter page on the ACDIS website to increase its reach and visibility.

ACDIS local chapter leaders looking to have a newsletter added to their page should use the leadership request form, which can be found on the main local chapter page. To do add a newsletter, simply select “update information on the local chapter page” after submitting your chapter, name, facility, and email address. On the next page, select “add a newsletter/document.” From there, you will be prompted to upload the desired document. Someone from the ACDIS team will upload it to your chapter page in roughly seven business days.

In addition to requesting that your newsletter be posted, you can do the following through the same form:

• Request your local chapter or networking group roster
• Request information be updated on the chapter page (such as leadership names or email addresses)
• Request the addition of a meeting to the chapter page and in CDI Strategies
• Apply for CEUs
• Make additional requests

For questions or comments on the new leadership request form, contact the ACDIS national leadership team at acdis-inquiries@simplifycompliance.com.
