Dear Hispanic Dental Association Community,

I am delighted to announce the appointment of Roderick (Rod) Chavez as our new Executive Director.

Rod brings more than 15 years of executive leadership experience in the nonprofit sector, with a proven track record of guiding mission-driven organizations through growth, strategic alignment, and sustainable expansion. Over the course of his career—serving as chief executive across non-profit organizations and foundations—he has demonstrated exceptional skill in strengthening board governance, diversifying funding streams, building robust financial reserves, and fostering cross-sector partnerships.

With a background in communications and law, combined with deep operational expertise, Rod is uniquely equipped to strengthen the infrastructure of the HDA. His leadership will be instrumental as we continue to advance our core mission: improving oral health in Hispanic and Latino communities, empowering our members, and amplifying our voice in oral health equity.

In his new role, Rod will work closely with our Board, corporate sponsors, regional chapters, and student leaders to enhance member value, expand our philanthropic reach, and ensure long-term organizational sustainability.

Rod can be reached by email [email protected]

Please join me in offering a warm welcome to Rod as he takes on this critical leadership role for the HDA community. We look forward to the expertise, vision, and collaborative spirit he brings to our organization.
