Sections

There are currently 50 Sections. Most Sections follow state boundaries, but a number do not such as Northern California Section and Southern California Section. It is hoped that the trial integration with the American Society for Dental Ethics will result in the formation of the 51st 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, the Office Manager 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.
