26% of Dentists Quit ADA

Okay, so I know I've been blogging a lot about survey data lately, but this one really piqued my interest and I wanted to hear what everyone hear thought of it.

The data comes from TheWealthyDentist.com and says that more than 1 in 4 dentists has quit the ADA for one reason or another.

What is your take on the ADA? Everyone I've heard from seems to have their own opinion. Whether they join for insurance reasons, events, or the magazine, it seems that the ADA is completely different things to different people.

Do you think that they are doing enough to advance the profession?

Interesting post. Seems a bit high to me. Not sure where they get there numbers from and over what time frame they are talking about. However, the dues are relatively high and membership is not mandatory. Yet, I believe that the ADA has served the profession well over many decades, even though the average member may not see the benefits of membership on a day to day basis.
