CDA Foundation names new executive director

The California Dental Association (CDA) Foundation has named Cathy Mudge as its new executive director.

Mudge, who is also CDA’s chief administrative officer, will take on the additional duties of the Foundation’s executive director while continuing her current role.

"I'm thrilled with this new opportunity to work with the Foundation and its mission to improve the oral health of all Californians through innovative programs that link dentistry to community needs," said Mudge, who has worked at the CDA since 1997.

Prior to her current roles as Foundation executive director and CDA chief administrative officer, Mudge was CDA’s vice president of public policy.
