    Leadership

    Become a Leader

    Governing bodies are comprised of members of the association who are selected to lead and shape our collective futures. Serving on the ADA delegation and/or a CDA council, committee or board is one of the many ways you can give back to your association and profession. CDA’s success depends on a diverse group of leaders consisting of early career, mid-career and retired dentists who:

    • Participate in thoughtful discussions
    • Are open to the ideas and opinions of others
    • Are committed to meeting attendance (some remote participation available)
    • Work well with other volunteers and staff
