Abstract
Professional organizations in general that depend on membership to effectively function are facing challenges because of lower membership renewals as well as a seeming lack of interest among new members that are joining organizations. The ADA, which represents a significant portion of U.S. dentists, has seen declines in membership, with some reports showing around 57 percent market share in 2022 and a decrease to roughly 115,731 active members by late 2024. Recent data point to around 152,000 to over 160,000 total members out of a total of approximately 202,485 active dentists in the USA.
