LARGEST NATIONAL NETWORK
- Access to one of the most powerful networks of dental office managers in the country with more than 8,000 industry participants
“I have been a member of AADOM for about one year. I love the idea that there are so many others out there with many of the same struggles that I have and you can have an immediate voice when you just want to vent. Office Mangers are a unique group - it is hard to socialize with the people that you work with or to become friends as it put you in a tough spot. But the idea of knowing that you have the support of so many that know exactly what you are going through is incredible. The advice that you get is priceless. Thank you.” ~ Sherry d'Hulst, Office Manager, Boise, ID
-
AADOM MEMBER FORUM
- A member only benefit - A secure message forum board (log-in required) where ideas, questions and resources for best practices are shared by other members
“The Message Forum is my favorite part of membership with AADOM. It is nice to bounce ideas and ask questions of other offices. It's also nice to know that the problems I have day to day are the same as others. I use the Member Forum every week.” ~ Jennifer Purvis, AR Manager, Indianapolis, IN
“As a member of AADOM, I am most pleased with the group forums. I find them to be helpful and truly invaluable. Thank you for having an organized place for us to exchange information and ask/answer questions. The group forum is not only a wonderful tool but very rewarding to help others as well.” ~ Rhonda Tomsic, Office Manager, Mercer Island, WA
-
MEMBER EMAIL BLAST SERVICE
- A member only benefit - Every Wednesday an e-mail blast is sent to members capturing questions from the Member Forum. Members can also specifically ask for a question to be sent.
“I have been a business manager for just over 7 years now and would have given my right arm for support like this when I first started. To begin with the support from the E-Mail Blasts alone is a help that cannot be replaced. When I first started I had a lot of personnel issues and the advice from those that have been at things longer would have been wonderful. I also like to be able to access other areas of the country and realize that we are not alone...Until this group was started there was an organization for everyone except those of us behind the desk running everything. I cannot say enough about the support and guidance any Office Manager can embrace from this organization.” ~ -Colleen Huff, Business Manager, North Tonawanda, NY

Nonetheless....I'm back in the office this morning with renewed energy and enthusiasm for my job thanks to the AADOM. The workshops were great and I especially enjoyed the roundtable discussions on Friday evening. I encourage you to incorporate more opportunities like that in future conferences. The hotel was great, food fantastic and the information was worth every penny. Thank you to Heather and Lorie, as well as all of the presenters for this opportunity and the sharing. It is so valuable to experience the comaradarie of people who share similar experiences and challenges. I will be looking forward to next year. See you there!" ~ Kristine Uravich, Office Manager, Moscow, ID

AADOM chooses an Office Manager of the Year annually from hundreds of applicants every year at the Annual Conference
“Greetings. First of all, thanks for making me the “2008” Office Manager of the Year! Talk about a career highlight! I cannot begin to express how good it feels to be recognized by my docs, team and peers! I love AADOM for what I get out of it. I get great articles from THE OBSERVER and a lot of other sources. Don’t get me started on the TeleForums, Webinars and Podcasts that not only give me great information, but CE’s too! I can go on and on and on about the networking… my favorite part!!! We work smarter together that is for sure. If I am having an issue with collections, scheduling, human resources or whatever, I just send out an email blast. Before I know it, my fellow AADOM’ers give me tried and true examples of how they handled that particular situation. Then there is the Annual Conference and it is one of the best I have ever attended by any association. The vendors are great and the freebies are not too bad either. When I leave I feel informed, energized and renewed! I wish I was a poet so I could dedicate a poem, but all I can say is…AADOM how do I love thee? LOTS and LOTS! Thanks for making what I do easier.” ~ Melanie Duncan, Office Manager of the Year 2008, West Des Moines, Iowa
