MEMBERSHIP
The DPA is a membership funded organisation. Therefore, its ability to function and fulfil its obligations to its members and constituency, depends on the funding by members, primarily via membership fees which are paid annually. The Board understands fully that the economic environment is difficult, particularly for the young dental professionals, hence there is a differentiation in membership categories.

My first encounter with the DPA was during my first year, in 1993 at Wits. The DPA then was in its infancy and was organising welcome picnics for Black Dentistry students at Wits. I knew then that the DPA would be my home till the end. I grew professionally through the DPA ranks and was privileged to serve as its Chairperson in 2002/3. I have seen the DPA metamorphosis into a global movement and Brand. The DPA has always championed the plight of the downtrodden and has provided platforms to African Clinicians and Academics. The DPA continues to ounce beyond its weight and its achievements are too numerous for this space… I choose DPA every time.
