“I am so thrilled to be the 2020-2021 Pre-dental Liaison. I look forward to increasing pre-dental student involvement in ASDA and providing resources to those aspiring to become dentists. I believe this organization plays an integral role in organized dentistry. ASDA represents the interests of future dental care providers at local, state and national levels. This organization plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and positive direction of the dental profession by giving students a voice on important issues in dentistry such as healthcare reform and licensing.” - Valen Elliott

Predental Liaison 2018-2019

"I am extremely excited to be part of the team and I can not wait to start! Organized dentistry plays a significant role in a dentist’s life. As students who aspire to be a part of the profession, it is very crucial to be a part of organized dentistry. ASDA is part of the tripartite system consisting of the local, state, and national levels. ASDA strengthens the profession of dentistry by protecting the dental students and allowing them to be able to voice their suggestions on matters including licensure reform, healthcare laws, new technologies and equipment, midlevel providers, and so many more. " - Alisha Virani
