At their November 10th meeting, the Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) Board of Directors elected 13 members to serve on the 2016-2017 Executive Committee. The 13 members elected reflect the Board’s commitment to ADSO’s mission to support its members through research, education and advocacy, enabling them to foster innovation, collaboration, and a vibrant market where DSO-supported dentists can provide quality oral health care. “We are very fortunate to have members who are strongly dedicated to advancing ADSO’s mission,” said ADSO President Mike Bileca.
