Introducing ACUI’s 2024–25 Community of Practice Leaders 

ACUI is excited to announce the appointment of community of practice leaders for the 2024–25 term. Community leaders play a crucial role in our communities of practice, serving as the driving force behind our educational and community-building missions.  

Their primary responsibility is to actively engage with members within their specific area of focus, fostering education and networking opportunities that enhance collective practice. By championing these interactions, community leaders contribute significantly to the advancement and improvement of practices within their communities. 

We look forward to the impactful contributions of our new community leaders as they guide and inspire our communities toward greater success.
