🙌 Get Involved
As NC IDA continues to grow, we're looking for members who want to help shape the future of our organization.
We're currently seeking volunteers for the following committees:
- Membership & Education Committee
- Sponsorship & Partnerships Committee
- Charity & Outreach Committee
Serving on a committee is a great way to build relationships, contribute to our profession, and help grow NC IDA.
If you're interested in serving, simply reply to this email and let us know which committee you'd like to join.
🌱 Help Us Grow
NC IDA is only as strong as the community we build together. If you know a fellow dentist in North Carolina who isn't yet a member, we'd be grateful if you'd invite them to join us. Every new member helps strengthen our network and expands our ability to learn, support one another, and give back.
We're incredibly excited about what's ahead and grateful to have you as part of this journey.
We look forward to seeing you on August 27th!
Warmly,
The NC IDA Board
