Local chapter update: Upcoming events? Tell us about them using the leadership request form!
We are curious, so tell us about your local chapter meetings!
To have your upcoming events listed in the CDI Strategies newsletter each week as well as your local chapter page, make sure to complete the Local Chapter Leadership Request form here and select the option, “Add a meeting to the local chapter page and CDI Strategies newsletter.”
Alternatively, if you are also applying for CEUs for the event, the “Apply for CEUs” form will also ask you if you’d like the meeting to be added at the end of the form.
You can always find chapter resources such as the leadership request form by going to the “Networking” tab on acdis.org, clicking on “Local Chapters & Networking Groups,” and scrolling down beneath the chapter map on the main page!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the ACDIS team at info@acdis.org.
