Your New PDA: The Why and How of Our Streamlined Governance Structure
Abstract
In 2023, the American Dental Association announced that they would be transitioning to a new software platform, SalesForce/Fonteva, which could support a quadripartite (four level) structure such as PDA only if there were substantial modifications to the software. And those potential modifications would come with a significant cost. Our then PDA President Dr. Richard Grossman appointed a Governance Task Force (GTF) to review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees as to whether PDA should task ADA with modifying the software, or instead, change our governance structure.
