Call for Leaders

Local and national leadership in the U.S. and Canada strive to recruit future leaders for the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

These individuals serve the AGD by:

• Planning and conducting local continuing education courses,
• Participating as members of constituent and regional board of directors, and
• Serving on a national level in the council and committee structure.

Leadership appointments usually occur at different times during the year.

In an effort to involve more members and identify potential volunteers at all levels of the organization, the AGD conducts an ongoing leader recruitment process.

The Call for Volunteer Leaders offers all AGD members the opportunity to complete an application to volunteer for leadership.

Members who complete the Call for Volunteer Leaders application will be entered into a database. As the national and local leadership prepares to make appointments, we will review all the respondents who indicated interest in the areas where volunteer leaders are needed. While in some cases there will be more interested volunteers than available positions, every effort will be made to engage those members interested in getting involved. Each year members will have the opportunity to renew their interest in serving as a volunteer.
