House of Delegates Meeting

The House of Delegates Meeting, organized by the American Dental Association, serves as a significant annual gathering for dentists and key stakeholders in the dental profession. This meeting takes place in Denver, United States, bringing together members from a vast network of over 159,000 dentists across the country. As the legislative and governing body of the ADA, the House of Delegates acts as the supreme authority for the organization, representing the interests of its members and guiding the future of the dental profession nationwide.

Delegates to the House are selected from 53 constituent societies, five federal dental services, and the American Student Dental Association, ensuring a diverse representation of the profession. During the House of Delegates Meeting, members discuss crucial issues, propose resolutions, and review annual reports from various councils, commissions, and committees.

The Executive Director of the Association serves as the Secretary of the House of Delegates, facilitating the meetings and providing essential governance support. This event not only allows delegates to engage in meaningful discussions but also provides access to important resources, including videos and transcripts of officer addresses, updates on candidates for ADA-elected offices, and tools for navigating the ADA Connect platform.
