Returning from an exhausting and wonderful Chicago weekend late last night, I couldn’t help but flip through our accumulated junk mail and magazines. WHAT DID I MISS WHILE WE WERE GONE?
Turns out the world of dentistry has been busy, ever since its annual conference gathered twenty-five THOUSAND members in Hawaii, by installing Dr. Gist of Michigan as the first African-American president-elect of the American Dental Association. The ADANews proclaimed this loudly on page 22 of their fortnightly newspaper. I can’t help myself from immaturely thinking ‘COPYCATS!’, yet at the same time being very proud of and excited for this organized-dentistry milestone. :) First female executive director AND first black president in the SAME YEAR? Hmmm… where have we seen that recently? Fascinating!
