Membership Committee Updates Dr. Raymond Lee, Chair CAPD/ACDP’s New Membership Categories come into effect on July 1, 2018. Additions to the By-Laws will be voted on by the membership at the AGM on September 14 th . We look forward to extending our educational outreach to members of the dental community at large. We also urge those members who are “CAPD/ACDP-Only” to consider moving to ‘Joint’ membership in CAPD/ACDP and AAPD with the July 1 st membership renewals. It’s a fantastic deal for Canadian Pediatric Dentists! Please see below. New Membership Categories: 4.2.6 Affiliate Members: This category of membership is available to General Dentists who are engaged in dental practice, administration, teaching, and/or education in Canada or the United States and are members of the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) or the American Dental Association (ADA) at the time of application. Affiliate members are strongly encouraged to maintain membership in the CDA and /or the ADA. Privileges of the Affiliate members shall be to attend the annual general meeting of the Academy, serve on councils/committees as ex officio members and not vote, receive copies of all general membership communications and publications, attend and participate in all continuing education opportunities. Affiliate members may NOT use the Academy name, membership status or logo, vote or hold office or imply special expertise or training in pediatric dentistry. Membership Fee: $225.00 annually 4.2.7 Allied Members: Pediatricians who are Active members of the Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS), or American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) may apply for allied membership in this Academy. Allied members shall pay all dues and shall NOT have the right to vote, to make nominations or to hold office. Membership Fee: $190.00 annually Joint Membership in CAPD/ACDP and the AAPD Just a reminder that CAPD/ACDP Student Members may join the CPS in the Associate Medical Student Category which is for health profession students enrolled in an accredited college or university program. Annual Fee: $30.00 Most members of the Academy enjoy Joint membership—a special-priced category that includes all the benefits offered by CAPD/ACDP and the AAPD. CAPD/ACDP Benefits are listed on the main website, while AAPD’s membership benefits may be found at http://www.aapd.org/join/benefits/. Joint membership is available to members who are Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents and whose primary practice is located in Canada. The cost savings to CAPD/ACDP members is noteworthy. In the Full, Active Member Category, if you pay separate AAPD dues and CAPD/ACDP dues, you are paying $690 USD (roughly $870 CAD) to AAPD, PLUS $335.00 Canadian to CAPD/ACDP, for a total of approximately $1205.00 CAD. CAPD/ACDP Joint Membership, which gives you the same benefits, is $818.00 Canadian—a savings of $387.00! Joint Membership can be noted on your file when you are still a Student Member or 1 st Year of Graduation member, and then it can be continued in your 2 nd and 3 rd Year of Graduation membership, and then on to your Full, Active membership. If you are currently paying the CAPD/ACDP-Only fee and wish to upgrade to Joint when renewals go out in early June 2018, then please contact [email protected] so your file can be adjusted.
