California Association of Dental Assisting Teachers
Message from the President

March 2025
We are excited to invite you to the upcoming annual CADAT/CDAA conference, taking place on April 25-26, 2025, at the Westin, Costa Mesa. This conference will offer an excellent opportunity to engage in interactive discussions, share the latest teaching methodologies and gain hands-on experience through practical workshops designed to enhance your instructional skills.
Additionally, we will be addressing the ongoing legislative activity surrounding the implementation of SB1453, a critical bill that continues to shape the future of dental assisting in our state. Stay informed on how these developments will have an impact on the profession and your students. CADAT will also hold its member meeting that will include the return of the CADAT awards. There is still time to sign up. Don’t miss out!
Want to help? We are also issuing a call for volunteers and leaders to help CADAT continue to grow. Bring your fresh ideas and talents to our board and committees. Applications are found under our membership tab. Apply today!
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your president and look forward to seeing you at conference!
