BE INVOLVED 4 Ways To As A New Denti

Are you interested in how you can be more involved in organized dentistry? Here are 4 opportunities to consider during your 10 year classification as a New Dentist. There’s a wide range of responsibility to choose from, so there’s something for everyone when the time is right.

» JUMP IN AT THE COMPONENT LEVEL This is the most practical opportunity, as it allows you to meet and serve

with other MDA members in your area who face similar professional challenges. It can be awkward at first, but attend the meetings, ask about gatherings just for New Dentists, serve on a committee or project, or choose to hold a formal office. No better place to start than locally. No better time to start than now.

» SERVE A TERM ON THE STATEWIDE NEW DENTIST COMMITTEE Here you will be able to represent your component needs to the MDA

and share the latest developments with your fellow local New Dentists. The exchange of ideas and facilitation of projects, like Connect4Success, allows you to lead at a broader level.

» ATTEND THE ADA NEW DENTIST CONFERENCE IN KANSAS CITY, JULY 17-19, 2014 Access all the resources of the ADA including outstanding CE

presentations and networking at a national level. You never know when you’ll find that next great idea that moves you—and the MDA—forward.

» DIVE INTO UNDERSTANDING THE MDA’S STRATEGY AND VISION Give input to your New Dentist representative on the MDA Board of

Trustees. This individual is the voice for all New Dentists as the Board conducts their business and plans for the future of the Association.

These are just a few suggestions among many opportunities. Learn more about these opportunities and many more at www.modental.org/newdentists and we’ll connect you for success.
