NDAA family, are you ready to increase our membership and elevate this organization to the highest level possible. We need your support at our 53RD Annual Convention. The NDAA is on the rise, but we need positive help from all members. Please encourage dental assistants in your area to register as members to continue their education. Education is the key for success in any dental office because of changes in technology and supplies to better serve your patients. I ask that you visit the exhibit hall and speak with vendors and find supplies that help make your job easier. Our journey begins with our continuing education for all registered members. We will have guest speakers that will provide credits from 1.5 to 2 hours per each session. The speakers will cover aspects of the dental office that directly involve the assistant and the clerical staff again. The classes were filled with knowledge and the speakers made learning fun. It is our inspiration to continue offering courses to prepare dental assistants and clerical staff for greatness, but we need funds. I am asking that all dental assistants and clerical staff ask local dentists to register their staff with us. We recognize that our fundraisers will not allow us to cover the full cost of our events, NDAA family; therefore, we are asking each dental assistant to help by approach-ing sponsors and encouraging doctors to register assistants in your area. Our organization is only as strong as the members involved in it. So, I am looking forward to seeing you all in DALLAS, TEXAS. We have scholarship information available for any dental assistant that is a member of our NDAA family. The scholarship will help you further your educa-tion in the dental assistant field or become DANB or X-Ray certified. NDAA has a private group for members only on Facebook to reach all. We are posting dental information to help assistants and information about the convention. You can contact any Executive Board member on Facebook and they can invite you in the group, or any member that is already a part of the group can invite you in. It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that I thank my awesome Executive Board and Chairs for all of their work. I am happy to have a great team and Past Presidents that have shared a great deal of knowledge to keep NDAA on the move to success. I Love you and See you in DALLAS for another educational fun filled convention!!!!!
CHALLENGE WHOM EVER SELLS THE MOST NDAA RAFFLE TICKETS WILL RECEIVE A PRIZE!!!
Yours Truly,
Angela Bowens, BA, MPA NDAA President
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ELECT
It is with great pride that I accept the opportunity to serve as the next President of the National Dental Assistants Association. I realize that the task ahead of me is not one to be taken lightly.
This position calls for dedication and commitment for continued growth and development. I will give my focus and every effort to help to build a stronger organization. Success can be achieved but only if we are united and stand as one body. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. I am in need of the support of everyone. The old shall teach the
young; therefore the younger ones can continue to pass the torch forward to the next generation. These responsibilities are not just mine, but belong to every member. As a member of this organization, we know that it is a part of our creed to assume responsibility, to create ideas and develop them. Please help me in fulfilling these responsibilities by attending the conventions and supporting the NATIONAL DENTAL ASSISTANTS ASSOCIATION.
Sincerely, Pamela King, MA RDAPresident-Elect
The NDAA would like to thank last year’s speakers.
