Testimonials

Tricia Calhoun

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.

Angie Coffey

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There A Fee To Join?

Yes, there is an annual membership fee of $100.00. This fee goes toward events.

If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our board members.

Do I Have To Be An AADOM Member To Join?

You may notice a lot of DPLN members are also AADOM members. There is a lot of value in being a member of both organizations on a local and national level. Another reason members join AADOM is to be able to attend the annual AADOM Conference for the ultimate networking and continuing education opportunity.

Learn About AADOM

What’s The Difference Between AADOM And DPLN?

The American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM) is a national organization whose mission is to educate, connect, and empower dental office managers and practice leaders across North America. Local chapters of AADOM members were formed to connect people nearby and bring AADOM’s education, training, and networking closer to home.

With the exponential growth of AADOM, local chapters rebranded themselves and formed the Dental Professional Learning Network (DPLN). This change from AADOM Chapter to DPLN invites more dental professionals to join their local study club and provides more support, resources, and opportunities to its members on a local level.

That’s why you’ll often hear how DPLN is endorsed and recognized by AADOM and why many DPLN members are also AADOM members.

Are Events Free For Members?

Most events are complimentary for DPLN members. If there is a price, it will be listed on the event listing.
