Robert Maguire, DDS, Dental Speaker | Dental Consultant
How do you create a dental society that is welcoming and comfortable for your peers and team members? It can be tough to create a place where everyone can speak their hearts and people can be their authentic selves. It should come as no surprise, but everything starts with you. You are the leader. Excellence cannot be a variable…it must be the driving force behind everything you do.

Executing Across the Generations (Remaining Relevant)
Dr. Steve Shepard, MBA, PhD, Founder, Shepard Communications Group
April Kates-Ellison, MS, CAE, Vice President, Member & Client Services, ADA
Stephanie Moritz, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, ADA
The ADA must change the declining national market share trend. In order to do so, the ADA will have to realign its focus, relevance and actions to resonate not only with new generational cohorts (millennials and generation Y), but also the inherent diversity within them. This session will utilize relevant education, research and discussion to identify recommendations for transformative change. Attendees will engage in interactive discussions that explore the following questions:
- How are the generational differences playing out in your lives, your practices and your leadership roles?
- How are the generational differences playing out in the ADA (national, state and local)?
- What are some ways the ADA and its leadership can successfully execute against generational differences?
The session will end with opportunities to make recommendations for member growth across those newest to the profession, particularly within ADA’s lagging segments: women, racially/ethnically diverse and dentists practicing in an employee setting.
