District XII Trustee Update March 6, 2013
by Lancette VanGuilder, RDH
It’s hard to believe that we are only 3 months away from the biggest dental hygiene celebration in history! The ADHA Center for Lifelong Learning/Annual Session is sure to be a hit in Boston in June. So far, there are already 1, 543 attendees registered! The expected attendance should reach 3,000 that will include hygienists, students and exhibitors from across the US, and the globe. Please encourage your peers to take advantage of the early bird registration fee that is available until May 13, 2013. Our district, DXII, received recognition for record breaking numbers of people already register to attend. Kudos to Washington State for already having 70 people registered! The hotel has sold out for Wednesday, June 19 and Sunday, June 23rd only. There are plenty of rooms still available for the session. Only a few of the hands- on CE courses have sold out. You can always register now and add CE or events at a later time to save money! The black-tie Institute for Oral Health/Presidential Gala will be a highlight of the session, as well as the Keynote Speakers-Geena Davis, Erin Brockovich and Debbie Reynolds. With the celebrity speakers, a formal gala, world class CE courses and exhibits, you sure don’t want to miss out on being a part of the celebration of our profession! Read the rest of the update....

Dental hygienists’ roles must be expanded in Idaho
by Elizabeth Nies | Idaho Business Review
Idahoans lack access to oral health care now. The Surgeon General’s report, Oral Health in America, identifies vulnerable populations including children, women, elderly, racial and ethnic groups, low income groups, special needs groups and residents of rural areas.

Sims, all districts would be of equal size from a population standpoint and when you voted for your “representative” he or she would allow you to have an equal voice in all subsequent proceedings as all others in that particular political subdivision or organization.
