The ReSeaRCh initiative, the previously announced campaign to help ensure that the very best orthodontic research in the world takes place in graduate orthodontic residency programs in the U.S. and Canada, will remain the focus of the organization's fundraising efforts, and this new branding look will be reflected in those materials as well. (See the flier below for more information, including how you can be a part of this important effort.) KEYSTONE SOCIETY M embers of the Foundation's Keystone Society are those individuals who have made a Continued Commitment to the SpeCialty® by including the AAOF in their estate plans.

The Foundation encourages all of us to speak to our alumni group members, study club members and others within the orthodontic community to encourage them to become AAOF Keystones.
