This year, we also had exciting prize drawings from our generous sponsors, including Henry Schein, Ultradent, and Alexander Uniforms. Congratulations to Chanin Hughes, Kara Hootselle, and Josmely Colon. 

As we move from winter to spring, this season symbolizes growth and transformation—especially for our student members. With graduation approaching, many are gaining hands-on experience through internships and externships, polishing their resumes, and preparing to launch their careers. The ADAA Connection Zone on April 1st is the perfect opportunity to engage, as we’ll be discussing “From Graduation to Your Future in Dental Assisting.” 

Spring also marks the beginning of state dental meetings, where many dental assistants continue their professional growth by expanding their knowledge and skills. We are inspired by your dedication, resilience, and teamwork, which make an incredible impact every day. Because of you, dental offices run efficiently and smoothly. 

And speaking of spring, it’s also “Spring Cleaning” season! At ADAA, we’ve been hard at work improving and streamlining our resources to better serve you: 

• Webinar on use of digital workflow implementation in dentistry 
• Uploading new CE to ADAA E-Learning Center  
• State Rebates distribution going out 
• New website page on helping educators enrolling students successfully 
• Improved response to any inquiries at ADAA Central Office 
• Redesign  & simplify our join ADAA process 

Thank you for everything you do for your patients, your colleagues, and the dental assisting profession. Your dedication and hard work make a lasting impact every day. As we step into spring, we hope this season brings you growth, new opportunities, and continued success.  

Warmest regards,
