WFO has developed its first membership directory
Fellows may access the directory through the WFO Web site

The WFO has a created a member service that will further assist the exchange of information between WFO fellows, as well as help those who are searching for orthodontists around the world. The new online WFO Directory, the first international directory of orthodontic specialists, allows the user to find addresses and telephone numbers for WFO fellows quickly and efficiently. Both WFO fellows and other Web-site visitors may use this directory.

To access the online directory, go to the WFO Web site, www.wfo.org. On the home page of the site, select the "directory" link. This link will take you to the opening page of the online WFO directory. You then have three search options:

· You can search for a fellow by inputting his/her first and last name, and then clicking on the "Search by Name" button.

· You may search the directory by entering in a city, state/province, zip/postal code and/or country. Then click on the "Search by Location" button.

· You may also search for an affiliated organization. Select a country and click on the "Lookup a WFO Affiliate" button. This search function will present the affiliated organizations for each country, as well as the presidents of the organizations.

The results of the first two search options will include the names of the fellows and their addresses. The names are underlined, signifying that they are links. Click on a name link. You will then see the fellow's address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.

For the third search option, the presidents' names are underlined. Click on a name to display the president's address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.

During the AAO-WFO International Presidents' Breakfast in May, Dr. Lee Graber said that the directory will soon list fellows' techniques, as well as where they received their dental and orthodontic training, and addresses of branch offices.

All WFO fellows should search for their listings in this directory to ensure that the information is correct. Fellows who have not provided the WFO with their telephone or fax numbers, or e-mail addresses will find that this data is not listed in the directory. Fellows should submit updated or additional information to Lorraine DuPont of the WFO Secretariat. Her e-mail address is ldupont@wfo.org.
