Our members have exemplified excellence through outstanding leadership and contributions to dentistry and society.
Congratulations to all the New Fellows who were inducted into the College in New Orleans in October! You are an extremely talented and impressive group of servant leaders who stand on the shoulders of those ACD Fellows who have gone before you to build an organization whose mission is to promote the very highest ideals of our great profession.

“Philanthropy—investments in project and process design is to improve the quality of life for generations yet to come. The impact is often difficult to understand and often impossible to judge. Philanthropy is speculation. The drive is fueled by a desire to move humanity forward.”
Steven D. Chan, Past President of the ACD and of the ACD Foundation
