Local chapter updates: Keep that fall feeling with October local chapter events

Last week, we highlighted all the ACDIS local chapter events taking place through this weekend. But, the festive fall feeling doesn’t need to end after events in New York, Michigan, and Missouri this week. There are still tons of chapter events happening for the rest of October.

Next week, the Arizona chapter meets on Wednesday, October 18, for an evening discussion of MACRA. Then, the Oregon chapter meets for their fall conference, an all-day event, on Friday, October 20.

The very next day, the Wisconsin and Virginia chapters meet for full-day events on Saturday, October 21, too. Also on Saturday, the newly-revived Texas chapter meets for their first full-day in-person event at Baylor University Medical Center.

To cap off the last full week of October, three more chapters meet for full- and half-day events. Minnesota meets on Wednesday, October 25, via conference call for a lunch-and-learn. Then, the Massachusetts chapter meets on Thursday, October 26 (please note that the RSVP deadline for this event is tomorrow, October 13). Finally, to cap off October, the Maryland chapter meets for a full-day event on Friday, October 27.

It’s hard to believe that October is already well underway, but the ACDIS team hopes you take full advantage of the fall season and get out to one of the many great upcoming local chapter events!
