History & Founder
On April 22, 1987, Mr. Charles Kidd, the late President of Trojan Professional Services, independently organized and sponsored a "Consultants Conference." His vision was to being together dental consultants to share their experience and expertise with one another.
The positive impact at the conference convinced us that an organization consisting exclusively of dental management specialists would be of benefit to both consultants and dentists. This was the beginning of ADMC. We are continuing to grow and merit the respect and confidence of our members and the dental profession.
OUR PURPOSE: Advance the dental profession by providing vision, standards and leadership. Our intent is to maximize our individual talents by learning from one another.
CODE OF ETHICS: Perpetuate respected standards of behavior to promote associations with clients and consultants.
DEFINITION of a DENTAL MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT: Individuals who derive their primary income from providing any or all of the following services to the dental profession: management or advisory services, lecturing, consulting, marketing or financial services.
