NDA Journal Spring 2023

Spring 23 www.nvda.org 21 SNDS Executive Director’s Spring Message Esther Johnson SNDS Executive Director’s Message Hello SNDS Members! We want to say thank you so much to those members who have renewed their memberships for the 2023 year! Our renewal deadline was January 31 and it was exciting to see so many dentists agree to continue being a part of the SNDS community. January was a big month for fresh starts. Not only were we fresh into a new year but we kicked off the year with a “Town Hall” meeting. We were able to share with attendees not only what SNDS was doing for them, but what the NDA is doing for them on a legislative level! Tri-Strategies, the NDA Lobby Team, came to speak with attendees at the January 19, 2023 Town Hall meeting about upcoming legislation and strategies. Dentists engaged in a Q&A, many sharing their own experiences and thoughts about the long fight for legislation that benefits Nevada Dentists. At the close of the event, many dentists’ hope and involvement were renewed. The honesty and authenticity of the event was truly moving. We recognize that as the world continues to move faster, we must find new ways to reach our dentists. SNDS has launched our first podcast, “Closing the Gap.” This podcast is designed to bring updates from the Tripartite, offer business building and honing tips, and create a sense of community for the Southern Nevada Dental Community. This media provides dentists an audio and visual means to connect in a quick 30–45 minute episode you can listen to at your leisure. Episodes will air monthly with new speakers, interviews, and much more. With License Renewals in June in mind, SNDS is offering CE monthly (including Substance Abuse and Infection Control courses) to help you meet your licensing requirements! These events can be found at our website or by calling our office: 702-901-1495. We have great things ahead and hope to continue enrich and improving the lives of our dentists. Thank you for being a valued part of this community! Wishing you, yours, and your businesses well, Esther Johnson SNDS Executive Director0
