Due to circumstances beyond our control, the NC ACDIS board has made the difficult decision to cancel our Fall Conference on Friday, November 2, 2012 at McKimmon Center in Raleigh.  We regret having to make this determination and hope this notification allows you time to make any necessary changes without incident.

Look for our Winter Conference flyers starting in January 2013.

Thank you in advance for your continued support of NC ACDIS
