New updates for the AAWD Website started on May 11, 2022. We are working on a redesign of our homepage with new updates, messaging, and event information. You can also expect updates to our chapter, board, and partner pages. While we are working on these items, please disregard any issues you might see. Thank you all for your understanding.
Keep watching this list for our newest chapters in formation. If you have any questions or wish to start a chapter in your area, call AAWD Headquarters at (800) 920-2293.

Use the AAWD Membership Directory to get started
If you are interested in leading a local chapter near you, you might already have in mind a few dentists who would be willing to join. You can connect with more dentists in your area through our AAWD Member Directory, which is available to all paid members. This directory lists all AAWD members (dentists and current dental students), organized distinctly by each state; it displays member info such as full name, contact e-mail address, city location, and zip code.
Please note: in order to utilize this directory, you’ll need your AAWD member log in info for the website, if you have forgotten this info, please contact us via e-mail at info@aawd.org.
What are requirements to be a local chapter?
There are four main steps to become an official local chapter with AAWD. Once you notified the AAWD National Office or the Director of Membership of your intent to start a local chapter, you will receive an application packet in order to:
To become an official local chapter, you will need a total of 4 active AAWD members. This includes at least 4-chapter officers in the roles of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. All officers must be local dentists (non-dentists are not allowed to serve as officers).
How many members do we need to have in order to be a local chapter?
There is no set rule. Local chapters can have as little as 4 members or as many as 50+ members. It’s okay to start out small and gain momentum over the years.
What is the #1 Tip in starting a local chapter?
We want to encourage as many as women dentists as possible to start a local chapter, we want our community to grow. The #1 tip would be that the structure of an AAWD local chapter is flexible enough to be adapted in any way that works for you: the chapter can be as big or small as you would prefer, and the dynamic of the meetings hosted by your chapter can vary greatly. We allow you to grow your local chapter, as you deem necessary.
If no local AAWD chapter exists at your school and you would like to help start one, follow these instructions to help get an active chapter up and running.
If you have any further questions, please contact Linda Huval, AAWD Membership Specialist, at linda.huval@internationalamc.com or call the National Office at 1-800-920-2293.
