Spring into TDM/Fall Into TDM
Creating strong TDM communities at the local level
To expand professional development and member engagement at the regional level, ACT has launched Spring into TDM. This category of annual spring events is spearheaded by chapters, and through collaboration with ACT National, will help support the development of strong local TDM communities.
In 2026, there will be both "Spring Into TDM" and "Fall Into TDM" events on deck. Check out the details below and submit your proposals by Friday, September 5.
To strengthen local TDM communities and enhance member engagement, ACT is excited to collaborate with chapters to host in-person events that support professional development and advance our strategic goals. In 2026, we plan to host chapter-led events in the Spring (February 23 – May 8) in the Fall (September 21 – November 20). We encourage each chapter to host at least one event during these windows, helping us provide more face-to-face engagement—an objective identified as a priority in ACT’s strategic plan.
Expanding chapter-hosted events will bring greater value to members, increase access to professional development (especially for those unable to attend national conferences), attract prospective members, and strengthen chapter programming. Additionally, these events present a financial opportunity, offering chapters new revenue streams to support ongoing initiatives such as programs, social events, and scholarships.
The proposal form below is designed to help your chapter plan a Spring/Fall into TDM event. ACT National aims to finalize all event plans by late Fall to allow time for sponsor outreach. A portion of sponsorship revenue will be distributed to participating chapters as part of the overall initiative.
