PDA’s component resources PDA’s Component Resources are available to assist district and local dental societies with a variety of activities, like social events or CE course promotion and increasing volunteer interest. PDA staff and society leadership work together to identify membership needs, address areas of improvement and strive toward achieving membership goals. MEMBER TESTIMONIALS “PDA’s Program Assistance has been very helpful to the Eighth District. We organized a CPR renewal course for Eighth District members and wanted an effective way to get the message out. PDA staff developed a very nice, bright, easy to read, and easy to respond to email through Program Assistance that was sent to all Eighth District members. After the second email, the course was full and organized, and ready to roll. The organizers and the members were very happy with the method of communication, the ease of use, and the results. It was extremely inexpensive.” “This service that PDA can offer locals and districts to reach their members in an efficient and extremely cost effective manner is an underused communication tool that other districts and locals should seriously consider for their needs. We will definitely use it again.” Dave L
