A Note from the Associate Director: Preparing for new products

by Rebecca Hendren

It’s been an exciting and illuminating month since I became the associate director for membership and product development for ACDIS. I took on the new role on January 4 and have been busy learning as much as I can about CDI, the association, and our members.  

I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting some truly amazing people who are focused on lifelong learning and committed to helping others reach their potential—from ACDIS instructors, Laurie Prescott and Sharme Brodie, to CDI professionals who have created cutting-edge programs. I am looking forward to working with these individuals on books and other products as they share what they have learned. I am in awe of such people who are dedicated to doing their part to advance the whole profession.

While I may be new to ACDIS, I am not new to our parent company, HCPro, where I have spent the last 11 years working in the nursing, patient safety, quality, and accreditation markets. I plan to bring my experience in these areas to my work at ACDIS developing our line of books, webinars, and online learning materials. 

If you are interested in being an author or have ideas for new products to share, please email me at rhendren@acdis.org. I look forward to talking with many of you!
