Local chapter update: Chapter and networking group leaders needed

Local chapters and networking groups are a vital part of the ACDIS community. The networking and educational events these groups hold are principally due to the voluntary efforts of their core leadership group. Each group needs three core volunteers to set monthly meetings, keep meeting minutes, help identify potential speakers and session topics, and generally help guide the group. It's everyone's responsibility to keep these groups going. Specifically, we need volunteers for the Michigan, Virginia, and New Jersey ACDIS chapters. But all our chapters need your help. Volunteer to serve on a planning committee, speak, or host an event. It could be one of the most rewarding activities of your professional career. For more information, contact Melissa Varnavas at mvarnavas@acdis.org.
