Abstract
The purpose of this Association Report is to recognize the significant progress of the leadership of women in dental education and to document the importance of increasing opportunities for women in global health, education, and research. Five American Dental Education Association International Women’s Leadership Conferences have provided opportunities for women leaders in dentistry around the world to exchange experiences and strategies that support their increasing value in the global landscape. Dental disease is now considered one of the top targets for disease eradication by the World Health Organization, and women are seen as critical to the achievement of global health objectives worldwide.
