Training and Services for States and Regions

ACDA Elections

Leadership Conference

Leadership Conferences are held for national, regional, and state leaders every two years, in years when a national conference is not being held. The goal is to provide training for leadership, promote the next year’s conference site, and share news about upcoming directions and activities. The 2020 conference was moved to a virtual format in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The format and timing of the 2022 Leadership Conference will likely be determined around March 2022.

Annual Membership Drive

Since 2013, ACDA has held a fall membership drive, implemented mainly through state leadership. The national office provides information and tools to the state president and membership chair, and is there to support and assist you. The 2021 membership drive is scheduled September 15 through November 15. Sing Up Membership Drive
