At the last business meeting in the fall, the dental society begins accepting nominees for Kentucky Dental Association (KDA) Councils and Committees, Delegates and Alternate Delegates, Secretary-Treasurer, and Northern Kentucky Dental Society (NKDS) Committee Chairpersons for the following year (term begins following the KDA Annual Meeting). These nominees are voted on during first NKDS business meeting of the new year.
The KDA Councils and Committees are composed of three to six members who generally serve a two year term. As there are no term limits, positions may not become available for these committees every year. However, the KDA requests nominees from the NKDS annually, for those committees and councils that do not have a NKDS representative. Other component societies are also nominating in kind. Nominations are sent to KDA and the Committees/Councils vote to select one of the nominees if there is an opening on their committee. If you are interested in KDA Councils and Committees or would like more information, please contact the NKDS Executive Director by email at nkds.dental@gmail.com.

Alternate delegates are also needed to fill-in at the KDA Annual Meeting when one of the delegates is unable to meet this obligation.
