Referral Program

As an AADSM member, you know the impact that membership has had on your dental sleep medicine career. With the AADSM Member Referral Program, now is your chance to share the value of AADSM membership with friends and colleagues! Encourage a friend or colleague to become a part of our vibrant community of dental sleep medicine professionals by joining the AADSM to receive thank-you gifts with a combined value up to $1,000! 

When you encourage a friend or colleague to join as a new member at aadsm.org/membership, make sure they include your name in the “Referred By” section of the membership application form. The more members you refer – the more referral rewards you receive!

Tips for Referring New Members

Each member referral helps to strengthen the AADSM community. A growing membership helps you connect with dental sleep medicine professionals across the world and increases opportunities for knowledge-sharing. It also helps the field of dental sleep medicine become more recognizable, which benefits members long-term. Below are tips for referring new members:

Start by talking with individuals in your network who you are most familiar with, then expand your efforts to contacts outside your immediate network.
Follow up with those you contact to ensure they understand how to join, where to enter your name as a referral, and answer questions they may have. For specific questions, you can direct them to info@aadsm.org.


Personalize the messages you send to each individual. You can utilize the message templates we've created for Full Membership, Academic Membership, or Dental Sleep Team Membership to get started.
Don't forget to use social media! We have included sample social media posts here.
