House of Delegates

Part of being a professional is being a part of your professional organization. Your participation supports efforts of our state organization(CDHA) for the betterment of the dental hygiene profession.  Each year, Orange County elects delegates to represent our component at the CDHA House of Delegates meeting whereby votes are cast on by-laws brought forth by members. OCDHS also sponsors students from Orange County DH programs.

Leadership

Leaders have the ability to impact all of those around them.  As a dental hygiene professional, you already possess the tools to masterfully mentor colleagues.  Take charge and further develop the leader in you! New grads are welcome and are encouraged to share their ideas and talents.
