Looking Ahead

The Canadian Dental Assistants Association (CDAA) initiated a significant transformation process in 2023 to drive the organization forward. Focused on good governance, fiscal accountability, and sustainability, the CDAA is well on its way to revealing the new way forward as the national voice for the dental assisting profession. 

Significant progress has been made with the creation of our new brand - Smiles - the launch of a new website, a shift to policy governance, and committing to four new strategic directions: Membership, Standardization, Communication and Operational Excellence. We expect to complete this process in the early fall of 2024 and are confident these changes will secure a solid foundation on which to re-build and grow.

In November 2024 the CDAA will celebrate both the past and the future as we kick-off the 80th anniversary celebrations to take place throughout Canada over the course of 2025 and we officially launch our new brand and strategic initiatives.

Please plan to join us in the National Capital from November 22 - 24, 2024 and watch this space for more information over the coming months.
