Committees are where the magic happens. They’re not just about meetings—they’re about connecting, creating, and putting your skills to work in ways that actually matter. Whether you’re into planning events, giving back, or just want to meet more people in the dental community, there’s a spot for you.
Why join? Because you’ll:
- Meet awesome people (networking without the awkwardness)
- Build your personal + professional skills
- Get the inside scoop on SCCDS events and CE courses
- Make a difference in the community
- Have a say in shaping the future of your Society
Here’s the lineup. Pick your vibe:
- Communications: Amp up our voice, sharpen our image, and help us shine online, in print, and in the community.
- Community Services: Roll up your sleeves and bring better oral health programs to the people who need them most.
- Continuing Education: Be the one who helps book incredible speakers and keeps our CE fresh.
- Leadership Development: Scout out new leaders, set up trainings, and build the next wave of SCCDS leadership.
- Membership: Welcome new faces, create fun mixers, and keep our membership strong.
- PAC/Legislative: Step into advocacy and help push policies that matter to dentistry in California and beyond.
Joining a committee isn’t just “volunteering.” It’s how you stand out, get noticed, and level up as a leader. You’ll also see firsthand how a big dental society runs, learning about everything from ethics to budgets to bylaws (but don’t worry, there’s fun stuff too).
And the perks are worth it. Committees are networking goldmines, featuring free food at meetings, and fun committee-specific hangouts that feel more like mini-parties than work. You’ll also get VIP-style sneak peeks at upcoming events and perks before anyone else, plus shout-outs, awards, and a little prestige (yep, bragging rights included).
Bottom line? You get to grow, lead, and actually enjoy yourself while making a difference. So, what are you waiting for? Find your fit and join an SCCDS committee today.
