There are 51 Sections with the chartering of the American Society for Dental Ethics Section on January 1, 2011. Most Sections follow state boundaries, but a number do not such as Northern California Section and Southern California Section. Most international Fellows are not in a Section, but are under Regency 8. Sections can be contacted directly or through our Executive Office. Sections are encouraged to contact Karen Matthiesen, Executive Assistant of our Executive Office, who serves as the contact for questions that arise about Sections, the Section Manual, training for Sections, and other related areas.
