« Summary of 2008 Membership Survey | Main

Dear AADC colleagues,

We would like you to know that your AADC Board of Directors values each and everyone in our organization. We have made it our priority to grow the AADC by recruiting new members and by bringing back those who have left us in recent years. Only by serving the needs of our members and constantly striving to expand can we continue to be vital and dynamic. Like any dental practice, new patients or members, in our case, are the lifeblood of the organization. Our association is the only one representing the interests of the dental benefits industry and is dedicated to serving patients, the public, purchasers of health benefits and the profession of dentistry. We need to recruit colleagues who are Dental Consultants, who are not current members.

As two newer members of the AADC Board of Directors we are leading a membership team to develop innovations and ideas for the future. Some of these ideas that we are considering include asking members who have the time and inclination to contact non-renewing or former members via personal calls. The member recruiting the most new members would be recognized and receive a $50.00 gift card at the Workshop.

Shortly a banner will be placed on the AADC website regarding membership recruitment and this incentive. We are investigating how to enhance and increase corporate memberships as well as how the AADC may find opportunities to enhance diversity within the organization via contact with Hispanic, Latin, and African American dental organizations. Finally, we are considering conducting "exit" interviews to learn why members decide not to renew their membership. As we are reaching out to you, we welcome the opportunity to have you reach out to us, as well. Please call or email us to discuss any ideas you may have. We sincerely look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

Frank A. Klump, DMD and Marc Zweig, DMD
