Day-to-day organisation of the Association
The budget of the French Dental Association is provided both by the dues paid by its member organisations, and by the revenue generated by its various activities.
The elected officers of the ADF (i.e. the members of the Governing Board, of the Executive Board and of the Committees) are all members of organisations affiliated to the ADF. The amount of time each devotes to the management of the Association depends on his or her responsibilities. The day-to-day running of the French Dental Association is taken care of by an additional staff of eleven people.
