OAGD a STAR in 2009
The Oklahoma Academy of General Dentistry (OAGD) is gearing up for the upcoming year. The OGD Board recently completed a national Strategic, Tactile, Assessment and Response System (STAR) visit held on Friday, January 6th, 2009. The STAR visit provides an all day interactive session with the Academy of General Dentistry on a national level to bring innovation and progressive planning to constituents. Application for this program was submitted in the fall of 2008 by Dr. Cheryl Church- President OAGD and Oklahoma was accepted for the 2009 planning session. The OAGD Board would like to thank Julie Barna, DDS, MAGD, Maharukh Kravich, DDS, FAGD, and Angie McKay, Director of Constituents Services for facilitation of this event.
Through the STAR visit, OAGD addressed issues such as Membership, Constituent Communication, Continuing Education, Legislation, and Leadership. With discussion and planning the OAGD board set forth a plan of action for the upcoming year. With these plans for action, OAGD will be looking to provide multifaceted CE, increase member communication through the OAGD newsletter and email blasts, legislation awareness, and commitment to advance the excellence of general dentistry. With support from our members and continued commitment to the organization by our leaders the OAGD will Shine in 09.
