The Indiana ACFW holds four meetings per year: March, June, August, and November. Because our membership is spread across the state of Indiana, our meetings are held in four geographical areas that are near clusters of members. Non-members are welcome to attend two meetings before deciding whether to join the group. Here are our upcoming meetings:
