The New Jersey Dental Association and Bank of America are again offering a complete meeting package in 2020. Bank of America provides our members the highest level of service while providing significant non-dues revenue which helps to keep down our member dues. In a continued effort to make our members aware of these services we have customized a packaged program just for our components.
