cdi insider st paddys day

Hello colleague,

Can you believe March is already here? The energy of a new season is in the air, and for basketball fans like me, that means one thing: March Madness. As an avid basketball fan, this is one of my favorite times of the year. Here in Iowa, we may not have professional teams, but we proudly rally behind our state colleges. It is shaping up to be an exciting tournament season, with all three Iowa state schools likely heading to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. There is nothing quite like the excitement of a buzzer beater, a Cinderella story, or cheering your team through the bracket.

In many ways, March Madness reminds me of the momentum we are seeing across the CDI industry right now. Teams are balancing performance, strategy, and technology to find that “sweet spot” that drives both quality outcomes and operational success. It is an exciting time to be part of the CDI community as innovation, collaboration, and leadership continue to push the field forward.

Speaking of momentum, the National ACDIS Conference is just around the corner next month. Are you planning to attend? Please let me know, I would love the opportunity to connect if you will be there. Our team is busy planning some fun activities for our booth, along with a special event for our customers and future customers, we hope to see many of you there.

Until then, I hope you enjoy everything March brings - the longer days, the promise of spring, and hopefully a few wins for your favorite basketball teams.

Wishing you a wonderful month ahead!

Warm regards,
