Who is ASDA?
The American Student Dental Association is a national student-run organization that protects and advances the
rights, interests and welfare of students pursuing careers in dentistry. It introduces students to lifelong involvement
in organized dentistry and provides services, information, education, representation and advocacy.
What Draws Students to Attend?
The National Leadership Conference provides leadership training to dental students across all years. Attendees
can create customized schedules based on their personal knowledge, experience and interests, in order to benefit
them as dental students and future practitioners, as well as leaders in organized dentistry. At least 350 current and
future leaders from across the country are expected to come together to achieve the following goals:
• Attend seminars on chapter management, public speaking, personal finance, practice negotiations and more
• Build leadership skills that will be beneficial throughout their dental careers
• Increase understanding of key issues in dentistry and dental education
• Build relationships with sponsors and exhibitors to fulfill immediate and future needs
