Amendment of PDA Bylaws Article 9- Term Limits
Kathleen Kennedy, Executive Assistant, reported that the Board of Trustees has yet to make any decision on when term limits for committee members will come into effect. Committee members expressed concern with imposing term limits on the committee due to the nature of the committee’s work. Ms. Kennedy will share the committee’s concern with the board.
Mailing to Non-members
The committee discussed a mailing to non-members outlining how PDA supports dentists with dependency issues and encouraging non-members to join PDA. After discussion, the committee directed Ms. Kennedy to work with the membership department to develop information about how PDA supports dentists with chemical dependency issues to include in a future non-member mailing (09/10CCCDA01).
