ADA Division of Global Affairs

The ADA’s international activities are now managed through the Division of Global Affairs.

ADA President John S. Findley announced the name change March 4.

“I am pleased to announce effective immediately the Center for International Development and Affairs’ name has changed to the Division of Global Affairs,” said Dr. Findley, “reflecting a new modern image that encompasses all parts of the world it serves.”

The Division of Global Affairs also houses the Committee on International Programs and Development, the ADA International Development Subcommittee, the International Business Development Staff Work Group and the FDI World Dental Federation USA Section.

The newest ADA division will focus on international development and international business, including science and research; product and service sales; and partnership and support in industrialized countries, emerging market countries and developing countries through a plan approved by the ADA Board of Trustees in June 2008.

The plan is designed to promote joint advocacy and development projects with other international associations and organizations.
