With more than 40 local chapters and networking groups across the country there’s lots of opportunities for CDI professionals to learn from each other and share best practices. Local chapters are volunteer led, each chapter is required by ACDIS to have three leaders from three different organizations. Leaders must complete the ACDIS Local Chapter Agreement Form on an annual basis, every January. Any change in leadership must be communicated to ACDIS Associate Director Melissa Varnavas by email at mvarnavas@acdis.org as soon as possible.
All local chapter members are required to complete the online chapter membership roster. If you are not currently a member of your local chapter but wish to join a group near you, visit the local chapter pages of the ACDIS website for more information.
