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 
• Work well with other volunteers and staff

Future of Dentistry Workgroup

What does the future of the dental profession look like? And how can CDA reduce the coming challenges and create positive opportunities for dentists?

The Future of Dentistry workgroup will address the evolution of the profession, including dental plan challenges and what meaningful reform could look like, and additional topics such as practice and business models, technology and AI, oral systemic health, workforce readiness, student loan debt and medical-dental integration. 

Additional engagement opportunities such as town hall meetings, focus groups and surveys for the Future of Dentistry work are available. If you are interested in being part of this important work, please complete this interest form.
