The ADA has installed Robert Faiella, DMD, MMSC, of Osterville, MA as president and Charles H. Norman III, DDS, of Greensboro, NC, as president-elect.
The installations took place this week during a meeting of the ADA House of Delegates in San Francisco.
As the ADA's new president, Dr. Faiella will lead the 157,000-member organization for one year. Prior to becoming president, Dr. Faiella served as the ADA's president-elect from 2011-2012.
Dr. Faiella's prior roles with the ADA include serving for four years on the ADA Board as the trustee from the 1st District, which represents Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. He has served on various councils and committees, including terms as chair of the Compensation Committee and the ADA Electronic Health Record Workgroup.
Dr. Norman is slated to succeed Dr. Faiella as ADA president when the ADA's House of Delegates reconvenes in New Orleans in 2013. An ADA member for 35 years, Dr. Norman is immediate past trustee of the ADA's 16th District, which represents Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
