Committees

The Academy's strength lies in its membership. Individuals contribute their skills and resources to the group by serving on its various committees. As a direct link to the membership, the Academy's committees work to impact current laser usage and future developments.

Become a Volunteer!

ALD will launch its Volunteer Leadership Initiative in 2024.  Members will be able to view short term and long term project commitments and volunteer in unique ways.  If you would like to share your expertise and experience, please consider the Academy of Laser Dentistry.  You'll have an opportunity to sign up for a variety of different leadership initiatives, to share your passion and give of your experience.
