Apply now to join the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council by August 31!
Eligible leaders can now apply for the 2026/2027 ACDIS CDI Leadership Council term, which will run September 2026 through August 2027, by August 31, 2026, by clicking here!
Council members do not need to be members of ACDIS or pay a fee, but you do need to meet a few eligibility and participation requirements.
The Leadership Council exists to connect forward-thinking CDI leaders through personalized insight-sharing and networking experiences that forge valuable relationships, advance strategic priorities, and illuminate game-changing trends.
Council members have access to the following opportunities:
- Six or more virtual panel discussion meetings per term highlighting recent survey data and innovative programs
- Monthly advice and exclusive opportunities in the CDI Leadership Insider (CLI) eNewsletter
- Ongoing opportunities to connect with fellow Council members via an exclusive discussion group on the ACDIS Forum
- Special discounts on ACDIS events and products on a rolling basis
- Annual opportunities to participate in a Council-exclusive mentorship program as either a mentor or mentee
- Opportunities to earn ACDIS CCDS/CCDS-O CEUs by attending and presenting at meetings and/or writing for the CLI
- Chance to join (or lead!) member-led leadership book clubs
The only barrier of entry is that you meet certain eligibility criteria, which are laid out in detail here.
If you’re a current CDI leader with supervisory responsibilities (over staff, educational, or departmental decisions) employed by a healthcare provider organization (i.e., not a vendor or consultant organization), and you’re able to meet the participation requirements over the term, you’re likely eligible.
Eligible titles include, but are not limited to:
- CDI VP/executive director
- CDI director
- CDI manager
- CDI supervisor
- CDI lead
- CDI auditor/educator
- Physician advisor
- Medical director of CDI
We encourage you to apply and join this wonderful group of CDI leaders! The application period closes August 31, after which applicants will be notified of membership appointments in early September. If you have any questions about the Council or the application process, please feel free to email ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald at linnea.archibald@hcpro.com.
