How is CDS organized?
There are approximately 4,100 Chicago Dental Society members in the Chicago metropolitan area. Because this large number of members is located over a wide geographical area (Cook, DuPage and Lake counties), the organization is divided into nine branches. Branch membership ranges from 150 to 900 members making some of the branches larger than some state dental societies! How do I know to which branch I belong? Members are usually assigned to the branch in which their practices are located, or may ask to join a branch in which their homes are located. For information about which Branch you should join, contact the Membership Services Department, 312.836.7300 or (click to email). To read about the branch boundaries, click here.
