Local chapter update: Request an ACDIS resource for your next meeting

Did you know that each ACDIS local chapter can make use of two ACDIS resources per year for their meetings? Local chapter leaders are welcome to ask for a webinar or a book, which is now an option to request in the ACDIS Local Chapter Leadership Request form. From there, an ACDIS team member will reach out and help you with the selection available. One chapter in the past, for instance, requested the CCDS study guide and organized a study group!

As always, if you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to the ACDIS national team (acdis-inquiries@simplifycompliance.com).

The following is a list of upcoming events for ACDIS local chapters. Visit your local chapter’s webpage on the ACDIS site for additional information about upcoming meetings. To join a chapter if you haven’t already or to update your chapter contact information/affiliation, click here.
