The Board
The ADI is administered by a nationally elected body of trustees (the Board), all of whom are Dentists, Dental Care Professionals or Dental Technicians who have volunteered their time to meet regularly in order to develop and implement the strategy of the ADI.
The Board meets on average four times a year, and has also created the following sub-committees to assist with the development of its activities: Congress Sub-committee, Masterclasses Sub-committee, Study Clubs Sub-committee and ADI Next Gen sub-committee (the committee of early career members).
Elections for the roles of President take place every two years. Elections for all other Trustee roles take place every three years.
The specific elective roles on the Board are Honorary Secretary, Honorary Treasurer, Academic Representative, DCP Officer, Technician Officer, Young Dentist Officer, Education Officer, Communications Officer and Industry Liaison Officer. Other Trustees may have no special area of oversight but serve as general Trustees.
Eligibility for election for most roles is open to all full members and voting is nationwide, with the exception of the Young Dentist Officer, who is elected only by members within the first five years of their graduation; the Technician Officer and DCP Officer, who are elected by the Technician Members and the Laboratory Members respectively.
