Get Involved
Volunteering with ODDS is a fantastic way to get to know others in the dental community. Service is the hallmark of every profession, and you'll feel good about your contributions to the dental community.
You may also find it an excellent networking tool and you'll enjoy serving with a group of dedicated individuals who share a common interest.
ODDS has several standing committees, so you have many options:
-
Review and update ODDS Bylaws as requested / needed.
-
Join your friends and colleagues as ODDS provides oral health education and other services at community events throughout the year. Sign up to help out at KidzExplore (February), Healthy Trick or Treat Nights at the Omaha Children's Museum (October) or at other events as they become available.
