Why
The Eighth District exists to support dentists and patients in the geographic area we serve. The board members and officers volunteer many hours of their time to further the aims and achieve the goals of the dental profession. They do this for members and non-members alike. We may be small in number, but the quality of our leaders speaks for itself. We are constantly seeking additional involvement from our members and striving to bring new dentists into our organization.
When
The Eighth District has spring and fall general membership meetings consisting, normally, of a morning continuing education class and a lunchtime business session.
The Board of Directors meets quarterly with the council and committee representatives. These meetings are open to all members and guests.
Additional continuing education courses are offered throughout the year.
