Greetings from the Michigan Dental Hygienists’ Association!
The Michigan Dental Hygienists' Association is excited to be working with the Michigan Dental Association again this year. This will be our fourth year collaborating with the MDA to provide an opportunity for dental hygienists to earn continuing education credits, broaden their knowledge base, and keep up with current trends in dentistry. This year's new venue is at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi.
An outstanding continuing education program and schedule of events has been organized for the entire dental office. A variety of courses are scheduled — several of which are free and others reasonably priced, with others co-promoted by the Michigan Dental Hygienists' Association. More than 200 vendors will be on hand in the Exhibit Hall, so be sure to save time to walk through and learn about the best new products, services and technology that's available.
On Friday, April 16 the MDHA will host another RDH Welcome Reception. All dental hygienists are invited to attend. Come relax and enjoy an evening with colleagues and dear friends, or make new ones! We look forward to having you join us for this relaxed reception of appetizers, door prizes and the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow professionals. And don't forget to stop by the MDHA booth in the Exhibit Hall, where you can purchase our annual shopping spree raffle tickets, or pick up information on what's new in the profession.
Hope to see you in Novi for education, networking and fun!
Paula Weidig, RDH, M.A.
