About the House of Delegates
The House of Delegates serves as the National Dental Association's governing and legislative body, representing the collective voice of its members. It determines the Association's position on matters concerning the practice and science of dentistry and holds the authority to enact, amend, and repeal the NDA Constitution and Bylaws.
The House of Delegates also adopts and revises the NDA Code of Ethics, guides the professional conduct of members, and grants or revokes charters for constituent and component societies. Additionally, it elects honorary and associate members, creates special committees, and approves official memorials, resolutions, and positions adopted in the name of the National Dental Association.
Through its work, the House ensures that the NDA remains a strong, ethical, and forward-looking voice in advancing oral health equity and excellence in dentistry.
