The College of Diplomates Announces New Officers and Councilors
The College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics installed new officers and new councilors during its annual meeting held July 14-18, 2010 at The Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.
The College installed Dr. Dorothy Whalen of Glen Cove, New York as president. Dr. Whalen served as 2005 – 2006 NESO President, NESO delegate and Reference Committee Chair. As the new CDABO President Dr. Whalen stated, “One of my goals this year is to increase the participation of younger members. We want to offer a summer meeting that is appealing to our "veteran " members but meets the needs of the younger members as well. The 2011 meeting in La Jolla will be geared to the clinical orthodontist so that each attendee will find something that he/she can bring back to the office. We are also doing an in depth evaluation of the Council to see that we are operating as effectively as possible.”
Dr. Rodney Hyduk of Troy, Michigan as president-elect; Dr. Michael Guess of El Dorado Hills, California as secretary and Dr. Robert Moss of Albany, Georgia as treasurer. Dr. James Williams of Austin, Texas; Dr. Paul Miller of Quincy, Illinois and Dr. Terry Sobler of New City, New York were installed as new incoming councilors. Dr. Kimsey Anderson of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Dr. Kenneth M. Hrechka of Oxon Hill, Maryland will continue to serve on the College Council. Dr. Philip Markin of Columbia, Maryland was honored for his contributions as 2009-2010 president and will continue to serve on the council as the immediate past president.
The College dedicated the 2010 Annual Meeting to Dr. Samir Bishara of Iowa City, Iowa for his dedication and leadership to the College and the College Council.
The 2011 College of Diplomates’ Annual Meeting will be July 15-19, 2011 at The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. Registration materials will be mailed to members next spring.
The College of Diplomates was founded in 1979 to stimulate improvement among orthodontists, to encourage orthodontists to become board-certified and to educate the public and the dental profession on the benefits of board certification.
