President's Message
I’m humbled to be the President of your WDHA organization, thank you. Wyoming is going to be a popular destination for the ADHA Presidents this year, so I highly recommend you clear your calendars and come enjoy some informed, enthusiastic speakers. This truly is a rare opportunity for us to have such access to our national dental hygiene leaders. I welcome and encourage all Wyoming dental hygienists, dental hygiene students and surrounding states dental hygienists to attend these events.
On April 12th, 2008, Jean Connor, RDH, ADHA President, will be attending the LCCC graduation and in September (5-6th), for our Annual Sessions, we will have our newly installed ADHA President Diann Bomkapp. Both of these dental hygienists are very accessible individuals and are excited to learn what Wyoming dental hygienists are both excited and concerned about, with the profession of dental hygiene, as it pertains to our State.
One of our goals, as an association, is to advance the dental hygiene profession in Wyoming through mandatory continuing education. A committee was formed to establish parameters for mandatory continuing education and these recommendations were presented to the Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners. I would like to thank members of this committee, for the time into researching and preparing their thorough recommendations for the WBDE.
Another goal WDHA has chosen is to try and make WDHA, an inclusive association, for all Wyoming Dental Hygienists and dental hygiene students. Personally, I have gained from belonging to our organization. #1. I’m able to attend hygiene programs in which dynamic speakers were important current information is presented. #2. I’m able to network with fellow hygieniss from across the state. For me this keeps dental hygiene interesting and fun!
I would like to thank all the members of ADHA/WDHA for their continued commitment to our profession. A big thanks also goes out to all the members of this year’s Board of Trustee’s and the many Committee’s it takes for idea’s and goals to keep moving forward. I wish everyone could see the dedication and passion these fine hygienists bring to “our” association. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact me. My contact information is on our website: wyomingdha.org. See you April 12th at LCCC.
