The House of Delegates services as the FDA's policymaking body, bringing together dentists from around the state to discuss emerging issues and ensure the FDA is aware of the needs and desires of the broader membership.

Governing Documents
The FDA’s governing documents are the official rules and guidelines that define how the organization operates. The FDA’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Manuals, and Policies outline the association’s structure, purpose, membership rights, and procedures for meetings and decision-making. These documents are reviewed periodically and any recommended changes are brought before the House of Delegates.
