“I am an active duty AF RDH and
currently there are only 22 of us AF wide! The ADHA convention
gives us AF RDHs an opportunity to also network with each other
and find out what we are each doing at our respective bases in
reference to clinical, community and family dentistry. I was
very excited to see that this year there are several CEs with
labs in them; for me hands on is sometimes the what puts
everything into perspective. I also liked the fact that courses
were offered more than once.”
Harold Henson, RDH, MEd
Educator; Has attended Annual Session for 9
years
“I liked the way the CE sessions were
organized into tracks that encompass the different roles of the
dental hygienist. This meeting has so much to offer to
students, clinical practitioners, and faculty. In addition,
professional development courses are also playing a critical
role in “Unleashing your Potential”. The
color-coded schedule was easy to read. I’m looking
forward to the tours of Albuquerque!”

“I want to become more involved with
the dental hygiene community. I love the ideas you’ve
implemented in this meeting. ADHA has been very responsive to
what hygienists need and are asking for. I had a hard time
choosing among all the great courses offered! I’m very
excited about this meeting.”
Barbi Lynch, RDH
Member, practicing 20+ years
“I like the addition of all the
continuing education at this year’s meeting.
There’s something for everyone: networking opportunities,
continuing education, association business, and opportunities
to stay in touch with what’s happening in our profession.
I’ve also always wanted to go to New Mexico.”
Marie Navickis, BSDH, RDH
Educator and first-time attendee
“As a member of the ADHA, I felt
comfortable choosing the Center for Life Long Learning
Conference. I especially liked the CE's specifically geared
towards faculty. We struggle with calibration issues for clinic
faculty and I am always looking for new ideas.”
Kelly Hales, RDH
ADHA Member
“I love the program – it has so
much to offer. I always come away from this conference
informed, renewed as a hygienist and PROUD!”
Heather Lawrence, RDH
First-time attendee who has been practicing
for less than a year
“I am very much looking forward to
the annual session, it will be my first and I am getting very
excited. The Continuing Ed offered at this meeting includes
things to help me as a person AND hygienist, not just how to
deal with my patients. I also like the fact that this meeting
allows me to take all my CE in one fell swoop!”
Stephanie Andrews, RDH, BS
New Member of ADHA, practicing for 15 years
“I was interested in attending
because I want to become more involved in ADHA and also saw
that you were offering a course on how the process of inventing
products happens. I have several ideas but never knew how to
get them marketed and out to the right people. I am very
excited about the upcoming annual session.”
