Hello and welcome to the website of the American Student Dental Association! ASDA exists to protect and advance the rights, interests and welfare of dental students. We are a compilation of some of the greatest leaders of our generation.

As dental professionals, we’re deeply invested in the overall welfare and oral health of our patients. As dental students, we strive to become our community’s leaders in oral health. Ensuring that dental students are educated, trained and informed for the benefit of our patients is an ever-present initiative of our association.

I am certain that the year ahead will pose many challenges, but my confidence is even greater in the leaders of this organization overcoming those challenges for the advancement of our members. The ASDA House of Delegates has elected an all-star team including Vice President Brittany Bensch, Washington ’12 and Vice President Ken Randall, Kentucky ’12 with our ever-present and reliable Executive Director Nancy Honeycutt, CAE, to lead this great organization. I am supremely confident in our ability as an Executive Committee to exceed all expectations and continuously increase effectiveness of ASDA in 2011.

It is my honor to serve each and every member of our association and a true privilege to be elected your President.

Sincerely,

Adam C. Shisler
2011-2012 President
