Members of 2010 Institute for Diversity in Leadership selected

In June, the ADA Board of Trustees selected 12 participants for the 2010 Institute for Diversity in Leadership.

Class members include Drs. Ensy Atarod, Austin, Texas; Kimberley Gise, Phoenix; Amarilis Jacobo, Bronx, N.Y.; E. Elon Joffre, Malden, Mass.; Marlene Navedo, Hershey, Pa.; Hema Patel, Fremont, Calif.; Maryann Riordan, New York, N.Y.; Tara Rios, Brownsville, Texas; Christina Rosenthal, Memphis; Moises Salas, West Hartford, Conn.; Also Sordelli, Houston; and Veronika Vazquez, Monterey, Calif.

Sponsored in part through generous contributions from GlaxoSmithKline, Procter & Gamble Oral Health and Henry Schein Dental, the Institute serves dentists who belong to racial, ethnic and/or gender groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in leadership roles. Core to the program's philosophy is that leadership learning is lifelong and experience-based.
