About ACP

Regions & Sections

The College engages the local and international community through its Regions and Sections. Currently the ACP recognizes seven Regions, each with a Regional Director. Five Regions are located across the United States, one Region is for Federal Service members, and one Region is for international members. The ACP has 40 Sections across the United States, Europe and the Middle East.

The success of the ACP depends largely on the success of its state Sections. Sections provide a forum within the ACP for the involvement of individuals drawn together by common interests in the dental specialty of prosthodontics. Sections are an integral part of the ACP, providing opportunities for members to participate actively in the College both through section activities and in leadership positions.  It is at the Section level that prospective members can be most effectively recruited, introduced to the organization, and involved in its affairs. The College supports and encourages the State Sections to enhance their member recruitment and retention efforts by developing leadership roles and continuing to encourage member engagement.

All ACP members (including ACP Alliance affiliates) of the College may join Sections by paying the appropriate dues. The ACP and the Sections are mutually interdependent and supportive. The College is committed to the furtherance of strong and dynamic Sections and encourages each Section to develop programs and activities to further their stated mission.

The Section Leadership Manual is designed to support the development of strong Sections, which will in turn contribute to the future success of the ACP. The Section Leadership Manual outlines administrative and operational procedures related to the establishment and conduct of ACP’s Sections, and describes the relationship of Sections to the College.

If you are interested in participating in a Section, please contact one of the Section Officers listed below.
