DIS SIG Button Archive
Every year after our Founding in 2008, our SIG has offered members an annual "U Know U Want DIS" button to wear at the conference. Buttons are handed out to members who have renewed their membership at in-person SIG events during the ABCT Conference, including the DIS SIG Pre-Conference, the Happy Hour, and the Business Meeting. In early fall, the Leadership Committee sends out a survey via the listserv, for members to vote for the year's button.
