The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) is sponsoring its fourth global conference to address women’s leadership.
The goal of the Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference is to foster global alliances and deliver leadership strategies that women can use to improve oral health and overall health in communities throughout the world.
The Fourth ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference theme is “Global Health Through Women’s Leadership.” It will build on themes and outcomes of the previous three international conferences—France (1998), Sweden (2003), Canada (2005)—that addressed global issues affecting women’s health and general health.
