WSDA Leadership Institute
The WSDA Leadership Institute is a program designed to foster new leadership in organized dentistry by getting participants involved in a variety of WSDA activities and meetings. The program provides an opportunity for WSDA members to gain a better understanding of organized dentistry at the state level and to build relationships with current WSDA leaders.
Participants will be paired with WSDA Board member mentors who will shepherd them through several activities tailored to developing emerging leaders from within our membership.
During the year, all program costs will be paid by WSDA, including airfare, hotels, meals and transportation.
The application period for the next Leadership Institute class is to be announced. Please watch your email for more information.
