Training and Services for States and Regions
ACDA Elections
The national office is available to assist state chapters and regions with officer elections, as well as votes (e.g., bylaw revisions). All elections and voting are conducted electronically. Please view the election information sheet and contact Sundra Flansburg with any questions or for assistance with your election or vote.
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 2020 membership drive is scheduled September 15 through November 15. Sing Up Membership Drive
