April 2023: National Commission adopts its 2023 Self-Assessment

Resolution 1H-2013 requires all councils and commissions to undergo a self-assessment on a rotating five-year cycle. The National Commission’s five-year cycle started in 2018; therefore, the requirement to complete a self-assessment that is to be included with the National Commission Annual Report to the American Dental Association (ADA) House of Delegates was adopted by the Board of Commissioners in April 2023.
