PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE 

 We are approaching election and voting of officers for 2009-2010.  Although each position requires additional personal time, the rewards are certainly worth the efforts. The office of treasurer is the only office not elected this term.  I would like to throw in my hat and run for the office of President for a second term.  Tricia Brachner  is running for secretary.  This leaves openings for president elect (not always filled), and vice president.  This does not mean a member must run unopposed. We also will be selecting five delegates and one alternate delegate to attend the Florida Dental Hygiene Annual Symposium in October.  Please think about the positions and future of GODHA and see where YOU fit.  

Kae Sylvia,RDH
