ACDIS update: Your civic duty—vote in the 2018 ACDIS advisory board election

If you’ve ever read one of our position papers, white papers, a note from the advisory board in our bi-monthly CDI Journal, or listened to an ACDIS quarterly conference call, then you know the crucial role the ACDIS advisory board plays in the leadership of our association and the greater CDI profession.

That’s why we need you, our ACDIS members, to take a few minutes out of your day for a very important duty: Voting in the next group of board members.

ACDIS advisory board service is a voluntary three-year term. ACDIS advisory board members perform important volunteer work for our association, including writing papers, answering questions, reviewing conference materials, setting direction for our CDI Practice Guidelines committee, and more.

You can read more about our board members and their responsibilities on the boards and committees page.

This year we have 10 finalists who have stepped up to run and volunteer their time and energy. They deserve to have our members make an informed choice and cast their votes. The top four vote-getters in this group of 10—two nurses, one HIM/coding professional, and one physician—will be elected by popular vote of the ACDIS membership, for terms effective April 2018 through April 2021.

It’s an important responsibility that we hope you take a few minutes to fulfill. View our voting page (open to ACDIS members) by clicking here.
