ICD Presidential Notes Dr. Manfred Seidemann President, ICD Worldwide College-at-Large Please read the latest Presidential Notes from Dr. Manfred Seidemann, International President. (Click on "Presidential Notes" in the previous sentence to open the PDF file.) PLEASE NOTE: There are now two International College of Dentists central offices in the USA: The USA Section Office and the Worldwide College-at-Large Central Office - Until January 2010, Dr. Robert E. Brady served as both the Secretary General of the ICD Worldwide College-at-Large, AND the Registrar of USA Section I. The two central offices were run by one person and housed under one roof, so many USA Fellows were unaware of the distinction. When Dr. Brady retired on December 31, 2009, his jobs and titles were assumed by two people who work at two locations in Rockville, Maryland. Dr. Carol I. Turner, USA Section Registrar, works in the USA Section Office (one of 14 Section Offices worldwide) at the same office address which Dr. Brady had occupied. Changes to your contact information should be directed to our USA Section Office; it remains: International College of Dentists USA Section 51 Monroe Street, Suite 1400 Rockville, MD 20850 301-251-8861 (phone) 240-499-8975 (fax) office@usa-icd.org In January 2010 a new ICD Central Office opened for the Worldwide College-at-Large. Dr. Terry Hoffeld, ICD Secretary General, works in this new location just down the road from the USA Section Office. The ICD Worldwide College-at-Large Central Office contact information is shown at the bottom of President Seidemann's attached Presidential Notes.
