Guest Board Member Program

Each year, the Guest Board Program accepts four dentists for a one-year term. Guest Board Member positions are non-voting, but Guest Board Members may actively participate in all Board functions and offer their input during Board discussions. 

Guest Board Members must commit to the following requirements:

• Attend the MDS House of Delegates meeting, all Board of Trustees meetings, the Board Retreat, and a Board orientation (2024-2025 Governance Year Schedule)
• Participate in Board discussions and volunteer or accept Board assignments, if requested by the President or the Board

Note: Any member-dentist of the MDS who is interested in learning more about governance and gaining leadership experience through this one-year program may apply. All applications are reviewed and the final selection of Guest Board Members is made by a Task Force from the Board of Trustees and the Membership Committee. No experience is necessary. Contact Colleen Chase, director, governance and operations, if you have any questions.
