Local chapter update: Leverage the Online Membership Roster

February 24, 2022
CDI Strategies - Volume 16, Issue 8

ACDIS created an online membership roster for local chapter registration. Those wishing to join their local chapter should use this roster to sign-up. Doing so, grants local chapter members discounts off national membership.

Local chapter leaders should regularly remind their chapters about the need to complete the national membership roster to update their contact information. Using the online membership roster frees local chapter leaders from burdensome roster maintenance. It also includes three important questions that can help leaders as they plan their meetings for the year and consider leadership transitions—with respondents indicating whether they are interested in hosting a meeting, speaking at an upcoming event, or volunteering to help on the leadership committee.

Leaders should be requesting the roster from national on a regular basis, connecting with any new members, and reaching out to anyone who responded with some level of interest in providing support for the chapter. Doing so shows those new members that we value their interest and helps them feel quickly connected to their local CDI community.
