Testimonials
Being a part of a chapter means that I am always learning and growing and I am not alone. I have the support and encouragement of my chapter members plus the AADOM tribe. We are a support group like no other. I would not be where I'm at in my career without them.
Tricia Calhoun
AADOM local is a game changer. Being able to meet with other dental managers that are dealing with the same issues as our office is eye opening. I no longer feel like I am on an island. I have made lifelong friendships and have been able to further my education and career.
