First, THANK YOU so much for already recognizing the value of being a tripartite member! We are so grateful to have you here! My name is Hannah Beus, I am honored to be serving our dental community as the NNDS president this year. A huge thank you to Dr. Benjamin Brooks for graciously leading our society as he served us last year. I hope to continue building on the foundation he and the other amazing past presidents have worked so hard to build. This year, one of my goals is to focus on providing opportunities to reconnect and rekindle the friendships within our dental community. We have all navigated and continue to navigate the effects of the pandemic, and everyone is deserving of some compassion and connection. It’s time to celebrate the achievements that have been made, and share insight we’ve gained. We were grateful for the perfect weather to kick off the year at the annual NNDS picnic at Bartley Ranch. Thank you to all those that came, we had a great turn out! It was so wonderful to see everyone’s family, and be able to relax in good company while enjoying some tacos and ice cream. I was thrilled to be surrounded by so many smiles and hear the laughter from dear colleagues. We kept the momentum going with our next event, the leadership retreat! Our inaugural leadership retreat was held Friday, September 9. We wanted to provide value for our members and help them cultivate their leadership skills within their own life, their practice, and the dental community. All who attended benefited from listening to our local speaker, Diaz Dixon, the CEO of Purpose Driven Consulting. The event was provided at no cost to our members to show our gratitude for their membership and to hopefully inspire participation within organized dentistry at any level. We continue to hold monthly meetings where we can mingle with our colleagues over dinner, while completing continuing education on a variety of topics. All are welcome!! Reach out to our Executive Director, Lori Benvin, to register. » This year, one of my goals is to focus on providing opportunities to reconnect and rekindle the friendships within our dental community.
