President’s Message
On behalf of the OCDS Officers I want to extend a hardy welcome back from a scorcher of a summer. After more than 50 days of above 100 degree heat, I wonder what winter will bring as I look forward to the start of football and hopefully Thunderball!
I would like to thank Rachel Harper for the outstanding job she continues to do year after year. We are extremely lucky to have an executive secretary who continues to make our jobs easier. I would also like to thank her for setting up a beautiful and fun Installation at Gaillardia Country Club. A great time was had by all.
How about OKMOM this year? Our very own Past President and current ODA President, Tamara Berg did an outstanding job with organizing and running the 2nd Annual OKMOM event at the Cox Convention Center. On a cold and snowy February weekend a rather large dedicated team of professionals tied the national record for the number of patients served. There were 2,201 patients and $1,091,781.00 in dental services provided averaging $510.29 per patient. What a feat accomplished! We all want to say THANK YOU to everyone who participated! Oklahoma’s 3rd Annual OKMOM will be in McAlester on February 3-4, 2012 so SAVE THE DATE. If each of us could volunteer a half day the impact would be huge.
I have always said, don't let the bureaucrats take our noble profession away. Plan to attend Dentist Day at the Capital on March 6, 2012. We might not always have a bill up for discussion but our voices need to be heard. Last year about 35 dentists showed up for the entire state. We need more faces in the future.
Don't forget healthy lifestyles start with our kids. We need dentist involvement with the schools. Dental education is metastatic and feeds into the home and can even foster into a child’s future career. We are blessed with a great skill and profession so let’s spread our knowledge.
I have an awesome team that supports me as President. I want to say thanks to Dr. Dan Wilguess, he stepped up to be President-Elect and Program Chair. Dr. Wilguess provided a wonderfully received program by Dr. Glen Houston on Clinical Pathology this past spring and has lined up another informational CE in November. Who doesn't love Dr. Karen Reed? She has filled the position of Vice President and been busy learning the ropes and taking care of Mediation Review. Thanks to Dr. Justin Power who keeps our money accounted for as Secretary/Treasurer. I am also immensely appreciative of all the delegates who continue to work behind the scenes.
Don't forget about the annual OCDS Golf Tournament on September 15th at Quail Creek Golf Club. It will be a great afternoon of golf with your friends and colleagues. If you can’t make it for a round of golf, join us for a steak dinner and beverages that evening. Contact Dr. Matt Cohlmia for details.
The next two OCDS Board meetings are scheduled for September 13th and October 25th at the ODA building, visitors are always welcome. This year Spouse Night will be a little different. Join us October 27th for an evening of lighthearted conversation, dinner and fun-filled entertainment to be announced soon. The General Assembly Business Meeting will be at River Oaks Golf Club on November 10th. This meeting is important because officer and delegate elections will be held. I encourage each of you to attend. The following day Dr. Santine Anderson will be presenting a full day CE course. Dr. Anderson is a practicing partner at Enspire Dental and assistant editor for The Dental Advisor. She will be discussing chairside impression systems, CAD/CAM in the lab, composite bonding and ceramic materials. It should be a fantastic lecture, so come spend the day with us at River Oaks Golf Club.
It is my privilege to serve as President of the Oklahoma County Dental Society. Nothing is accomplished by one person. Thanks to all who support, serve and continue to push our legacy forward. Please take the time to thank our seasoned veteran delegates and encourage our new members to get involved. If there is anything I can do, contact me by phone (405) 209-1539 or email bouma@.
Warmest Regards,
Lars Bouma, DDS, MS
