Greetings! Happy New Year fellow hygienists! I hope this message finds you all happy, healthy, and sticking to your New Year Resolutions! If you haven't made a resolution yet, how about joining us for our monthly GODHA meetings. This was exactly the goal of one of our members. She attended our January meeting and now we hope to see her at many more. Our GODHA meetings are a great place to reconnect with old classmates and colleagues or meet new ones. Make it a hygienist's night out with dinner and a GODHA meeting! Hope to see you there.

At a new year, it is good to reflect on what the past year has held and what the future has in store. A wise person once told me that planning is the key to life. Another wise person told me that a dream is just a dream without a vision. I want to assure you that your leaders in the Florida Dental Hygiene Association have a plan and a vision for our future as dental hygienists and as a professional association.
We have a purpose:
To promote the health of the public; advance the art and science of dental hygiene; maintain the highest standards of dental hygiene education and practice; represent and protect the profession of dental hygiene; improve the professional competency of the dental hygienist; advocate research in oral health; provide professional communication.
We have a vision:
Create a community for all dental hygienists to collaborate and invest in their future.
And we have a core ideology:
Encourage all dental hygienists to achieve their fullest potential as they seek to improve the public's oral health.
I thank each of you for supporting our professional association in its endeavors to represent all hygienists in the state of Florida. Here's wishing all of you a wonderful new year, filled with excitement, fulfillment and smiles.
With warmest regards,
Rory Reese, RDH, BHS
President, Florida Dental Hygiene Association
