ASDA supports serving our communities and helping those in need as an important part of becoming a future dentist. This national award recognizes members across the country who dedicate themselves to serving others through community service and dental outreach.
ASDA awards one person from each of the 11 ASDA districts a Community Builder of the Year Award. Of the 11 award winners, one member who has demonstrated significant personal dedication to community service and outreach receives the National Community Builder of the Year Award.
2023 is the inaugural year for this new award.
