| The ADA Institute for Diversity in Leadership is a three-part personal leadership training program designed to enhance the leadership skills of dentists who belong to racial, ethnic and/or gender backgrounds that have been traditionally underrepresented in leadership roles. The goal of the Institute is to provide dentists with the leadership skills necessary to help them make a positive impact in their communities, organizations and the dental profession. The Institute also provides a tremendous opportunity for dentists to network with their colleagues and interact with ADA leadership.
The 12 dentists selected for the Institute will attend three, leadership training seminars in a small group setting. The sessions will be led by faculty from one of the nation’s top-ranked business schools, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Institute faculty will lead dentists through discussions on topics including:
- Defining Leadership
- Decision Making
- Leadership Challenges in a Diverse World
- Vision, Goals, Objectives
- Marketing
- Communications and Persuasion
- Negotiations and Dispute Resolution
- Leading Teams
Dentists will meet with leaders from the program's corporate sponsors and other non-profit organizations. |

As part of the program, participants will complete a self-selected personal leadership project. This project will give dentists hands-on experience at identifying a civic or professional issue that is important to them and gathering the support and resources needed to take action. Institute participants will have access to Kellogg faculty, ADA staff and mentors from the profession to provide guidance as they work to complete their personal leadership projects.
There is no tuition or fee to participate in the Institute and the ADA will cover travel expenses to Chicago for the three training sessions. In addition, a stipend is provided to help offset costs associated with implementing participants’ personal leadership projects.
