The 2022 House of Delegates was held on Friday, May 20, and Monday, May 23. NESO delegates met for caucuses on Friday and Monday from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. The House immediately followed caucuses and started at noon both days, followed by Reference Committee Hearings on Friday.

The House of Delegates serves as the legislative body of the Association. The powers and duties of the House of Delegates make it the supreme authoritative body of the Association. As such, it can adopt resolutions stating policies and procedures, adopt, amend, and repeal the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws and Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct, elect honorary members, create special committees and approve memorials in the name of the Association. The House of Delegates also has the duty of electing the Secretary-Treasurer, the Speaker of the House of Delegates, Directors of the American Board of Orthodontics, and members of the councils and committees. It also approves the annual budget. The election and terms of NESO delegates conform to the bylaws of the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists.
