Local chapter update: Is your email address up to date with chapter leadership?

February 18, 2021
CDI Strategies - Volume 15, Issue 7

Are you part of a local chapter but haven’t received chapter emails in a while? It’s possible that your email address is out of date in the local chapter roster. Because local chapters and ACDIS national use a separate database for emails and contact information, it might be that while you have updated contact information with ACDIS, your local chapter still has old information.

If you think you might be missing on emails, take a few minutes to fill out the local chapter roster with the best email addresses to reach you. The chapter roster can be found here.

If you’re a chapter leader and are noticing bounced email addresses when sending out chapter updates or newsletters, send a list of the bounced email addresses to ACDIS Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org) to have the addresses removed from your roster.

The following is a list of upcoming events for ACDIS local chapters. To join a chapter if you haven’t already or to update your chapter contact information/affiliation, click here.
