President’s Message As I sit down to compose my president’s message, I’m looking at a calendar and realize that the end of the year is quickly approaching. It also means that my term serving as president will have reached its halfway point. Rudy T. Liddell, D.M.D. I made the last of my affiliate visits. You really get an appreciation of just how big our component is when you have to drive down to Collier County one visit, up to New Port Richey and eastward to Lakeland for yet another. All of the affiliates had their own personality, but I was continually impressed by the overall quality of our members. I personally want to thank Drs. Churney, Palo, Cullinan and Desai for helping me out when I had scheduling conflicts. I hope this tradition of visiting the various counties never fades. During the Officers’ Planning Session at the WCDDA’s Summer Meeting in Naples, access-to-care was a topic on the agenda. Drs. Dan Bertoch and Terry Buckenheimer proposed trying to create a pilot program utilizing the talents of those who provide dental services to the underserved and the members of the WCDDA. The first step of this process occurred on October 23, 2009. A forum was held at the WCDDA’s central office, proctored by Dr. Bertoch, with representatives from several public health settings in attendance. The purpose of this forum was to identify where the association could be of assistance in providing dental care to the underserved. Please register for the WCDDA’s 88 th Annual Meeting Friday, February 5, 2010 at the St. Petersburg Hilton Bayfront. The meeting will feature the internationally renowned speaker Dr. Gerard Chiche presenting on Predictable Anterior Esthetics, Ms. Katherine Eitel on Lioness Leadership and Angie Stone, RDH will talk about improving oral care in dependent patients and recall. CPR re-certification will also be available in time for license renewal. There is something for all, so I hope that you’ll bring your staff. There will also be a Presidential Cocktail Reception at the Museum of Fine Arts Thursday evening, February 4 th at seven o’clock. All are welcome to attend. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season. Please keep our service men and women in your thoughts and prayers. I hope to see a lot of our members at the Annual Meeting.
