Local chapter update: Review and update your website pages

Each local chapter has its own page on the ACDIS website. We depend on local chapter leadership to regularly provide information regarding upcoming events and any changes in leadership (or leadership contact information) in order to keep these pages up to date.

Leaders can opt to post a flyer or agenda to an upcoming event, post PowerPoint presentations from an upcoming, or just past event, include a link to a post-event survey, upload a local chapter newsletter or photos from a recent event.

Please take a minute to review your pages and if you notice outdated information reach out to your leaders or us to provide the correct information.

The following is a list of upcoming events for ACDIS local chapters. If you have an upcoming event you would like to include, please email Melissa Varnavas (mvarnavas@acdis.org) and Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org).
