Earlier today, the American Dental Association’s 2022 House of Delegates elected Dr. Linda Edgar to be its 160th president.

Dr. Edgar will become president-elect at the conclusion of this year’s House of Delegates and become president of the ADA in October 2023.



Dr. Edgar will be the first ADA president from Washington state since Dr. John M. Deines served from 1970-71. She will also be the 5th woman to serve as ADA president. Two of the ADA's five women presidents have come from the ADA’s 11th District Caucus (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington).

Read more about Linda's candidacy in this feature from the WSDA News magazine.

As an ADA delegate from Washington, I was able to witness Linda’s campaign firsthand. She did an amazing job articulating her vision for the ADA and her commitment to bringing everyone together to achieve the ADA’s mission. We look forward to working with Linda over the next two years.

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Linda Edgar!

Sincerely,

Dr. John Gibbons
WSDA President
