Hello Hygienists!

This is a very exciting year for us all. We are moving towards many new opportunities as hygienists and need your support to help us along. Our new President of the WDHA, Debbie, has requested that we email after every BOT meeting, and we fully intend to follow through with this so we may all stay up to date with important events and information. Be sure to stay in contact with either or both of us with any questions or concerns you may have. Our board will also be hosting many different fundraisers in a variety of different areas and we welcome any ideas that you may have. There are two Trustees this year, and we are both looking forward to being your voice and relaying any information to and from our meetings. Again, there are many many things happening this year with the dental hygiene profession, and this year, above others, we need to stay together as voices for our professional needs.

We both look forward to hearing from you all!
