Local Chapter Update: Upcoming meetings and events

The Chapter Advisory Board held its quarterly call for local chapter leaders Thursday, October 22. During the call, members of the three Missouri ACDIS chapters’ leadership recounted how they joined forces for the state’s first full-day event. Perhaps more vital for those listening to the call, the leaders explained how their availed themselves of the information on the ACDIS website, reached out to other chapter leaders across the country and pulled together best practices for an event which gathered more than 100 participants. The call also explored several tools such as Google suite, Gmail, and Square. If you are a chapter leader and missed this networking call, listen to the recording on the ACDIS website.
