How to Become a Member
Open member enrollment for 2025

Georgia ACDIS is affiliated with the national ACDIS, and we sign a chapter agreement with them every year. However, we do not collect their membership dues, and the national ACDIS office does not collect chapter dues for the states. Therefore, to cover the expenses accrued for hosting four (4) quarterly state meetings online and some in-person (when permited), speakers' honorariums, annual scholarships, charity donations, and the software fees for the online platforms we have implemented an Official Paid Membership program. Of course, anyone can attend our meetings, receive email notices, and educational disbursements but only Official Paid Members receive and not limited to the following:

• Entrance to attend all four (4) quarterly meetings
  (between 15-20 CEUs, door prizes, and for onsite meetings - breakfast, lunch, and snacks). 

• When inperson meetings, members can attend meetings remotely if needed via virtual meeting.

• Paid chapter members get first choice priority for spots with online meetings. Paid chapter member must register for online meetings during early member enrollment ahead of open registration.
