1913-2000. 2 The ADA’s constituent societies were originally (1913-
1927) grouped into nine districts for the purpose of electing the Board
of Trustees. The 3rd district represented the states of Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio. 3 In 1928 the Board of
Trustees was reorganized into 13 trustee districts. Pennsylvania became
the only state represented by the 3rd district.
