We are winding up a great year of NNDS Dinner CE meetings, holiday parties, award nights, and more. It was our first full season of meetings and events since our COVID shutdown, and it’s wonderful to be back in motion. Huge welcome and thank you to our newly elected NNDS executive committee: Hannah Beus as President, Chris Galea as VP, K.C. Gilbert as Treasurer, John McClennan as CE chair, Aimee Abittan and Ben Syndergaard as Members-at Large. There are a whole different group of NDA representatives, ADA representatives, committee members, delegates and NNDHP committee members (too many to list) that also donate their time, looking out for our profession we should thank. First, get to know and thank our NDA executive director, Michele Reeder. And if you are interested in learning the behindthe-scenes of organized dentistry, please reach out to Lori Benvin, Michele Reeder or any representatives. This is our profession; we all help take care of us! Another thank you to Lori Benvin, executive director for the NNDS. Wrapping up 20 successful seasons watching over us and our society. She has been an immeasurable force for us, and really cares about us keep ing our society and the camaraderie that it brings to future generations. Hopefully everyone can get out and enjoy summer. Nowhere else does it like Nevada. Camp, swim, bike, sit in the AC, whatever makes you happy! Be mindful while doing it and focus on the now, because it won’t happen again. Eat lunch without your cell phone sometime and pay attention to eating lunch. It’s an interesting exercise. Enjoy these beautiful days! This time of year in Nevada is magical. We have a great series of CE meetings coming this fall in Northern Nevada. We kick off with our open house summer BBQ on August 18. Bring the family! Taco truck AND dessert truck! In September is the annual Joel Glover golf tournament. It is the 20th anniversary this year! Our first dinner CE of the next season in October is Dr. Joseph Cohen, “Non-Dental Tooth Pain.” It will be worth attending. Cheers, Dr. Benjamin R.
