Note from the ACDIS Director
Love the CDI profession and want to give back? Volunteer for a board or committee

By Brian Murphy

I find that the more you volunteer, the richer your life becomes.

I am a volunteer committee member on the Reading Memorial High School Athletic Hall of Fame. As a graduate of the RMHS Class of 1991, when the opportunity arose for me to help out my alma mater by honoring its greatest athletes, teams, and coaches, I couldn’t pass it up.

Professionally, through my role as the director of this amazing association of CDI professionals, I get to work with volunteers almost every day through a number of boards, committees, and generous participation of ACDIS members in a hundred small ways.

Blog Highlight

Do you have a tip, story, or perspective to share with the broader ACDIS and CDI community? If you’re interested in writing a piece for the Blog, here are a couple guidelines for you:

  • Length: Typically, 500-700 words. If your post is longer, we may break it into two posts for readability.
  • Content: All things CDI (and coding too)! We love hearing about your experiences and the lessons you’ve learned about CDI along the way.

Besides those two guidelines, all you have to do is submit your piece to ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org).
