The TurnsFoundation50!
preview—the Board of Regents and Staff in the Executive Office are looking forward to welcoming you back to the in-person Annual Meeting!
While current events have shown we cannot predict the future, our legacy of service driven by the sustained philanthropy of our Fellows will continue to keep our focus on our shared mission—to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry
The ACDF turns 50 this year, and the College is looking forward to celebrating this special milestone. Name a program that benefits Fellows, dental students, and the dental community at large and the Foundation is what made that program possible. When we ship Ethics Handbooks to dental schools, help send our colleagues through graduate programs in ethics or leadership, and provide world-class continuing education free of charge, that is the work of the Foundation supporting the mission of the College.
In 1972, the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl, Maya Angelou won the Pulitzer Prize, and Richard Nixon became the first US President to visit the People’s Republic of China. It is also the year a group of ACD leaders recognized the need for a funding organization to take the College’s mission even further and created the ACD Foundation.

Although the financial contributions make the work possible, sustaining the mission is the work itself. Without volunteer members willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work, we would not have the abundance of tangible improvements to dentistry that we have created, shared, and enjoyed for over 100 years. The philanthropy of doing is mission essential. In this issue, we bring you ACD leaders’ current thinking on the connections that make our work possible, philanthropy, and important reminders of how much the College accomplishes each year through the generosity of our Fellows. We also hope you will enjoy the meeting

The ACD Welcomes the AADEJ
A highlight of the 2022 Annual Meeting will be the signing of the ACD/AADEJ affiliation agreement. Slated for Wednesday, October 12 at 5:30 PM, at the beginning of the Meet & Greet reception, this will signify the official start of the AADEJ’s status as a nongeographic Section of the College.
The American Association of Dental Editors and Journalists (AADEJ) was chartered in 1931 as a result of findings of the ACD’s Commission on Journalism. The Commission sought an ongoing effort to, “promote the ideals of non-proprietary journalism in dentistry.” The organization is committed to the establishment and encouragement of responsible editorial policy. All Fellows of the ACD are invited to add the AADEJ as their second Section.
The Executive Office Staff currently consists of six full time and two parttime members. This competent group is committed to the non-profit Mission. They facilitate the effectiveness of the leaders and Fellows by providing administrative and creative support in areas that include communication, finance, logistics, meeting planning, historical context, membership, publications, working with SPEA, and

are the core of the College. No matter how brilliant the Board or how hard working the Staff, it is the Section leadership that innovates and oversees the implementation of College initiatives and advances the Mission on the ground level. Many Sections have elected leaders that remain active in leadership for many years after the term of their elected position. They are the knowledgeable authorities of their Sections, Fellows, and of their SPEA programs. The Sections connect the Fellows to one another and to the national organization. Many people know the Officers and Executive Director of the College because they have been noticed for activity and contribution. Some know what the College does because they have been actively involved as elected officials or through other interaction. Few appreciate how the College functions. Two unique characteristics impact the effectiveness of the College. The College is mission based while many dental organizations are transactional, and our organizational system is connectional. Our connectional structure has enabled the College to continue as the conscience of dentistry after a century of challenges. Considering the nature of the new challenges and that the efforts to enhance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership are for all of dentistry, one could argue that the American College of Dentists is the most critical of dental organizations.
Supporting the Sections is the governing Board of Regents, which is a body of five officers, eight elected Regents representing geographic regions, and up to four At Large Regents representing areas such as military dentistry, the dental industry, and dental education. The Board also includes liaisons from our affiliates: SPEA, ASDE, AADEJ. Because of the selection process, the Board is a diverse blend of exceptional talent and dedication spanning the breadth and depth of the profession. The unique key to a century of creating and enhancing the profession is the purely missionbased approach to Board initiatives that creates an exceptional degree of collaborative thinking and working. The effort is supported by two live meetings of the Board of Regents, four virtual Board meetings, and meetings of task force and standing committees. Perhaps the most important activity is the work of the eight elected Regents who engage and empower their Sections.

anything else the Sections, Fellows, and Board members require. Perhaps the most important function of the Executive Office is connecting the Staff, and Board of Regents with the Sections and the Fellows.
Fundamentally, all of us, regardless of offices held or accolades awarded, are Fellows.

Brandhorst, Otto W. (1970). American College of Dentists History: The First 50 Years. American College of Dentists.
The American College of Dentists has completed an impactful century as the visionary of the profession because it is Mission-based and because of its unique functionality. The College is not defined by a central hierarchy or by the fluid autonomy of its structure. The College is defined by the connections between Fellows and groups of
Fellows. It is those interpersonal relationships that are the essence of the College and its century of impact. This issue of the ACD News highlights the work of the ACD Foundation. Founded in 1972, the Foundation provides the financial resources needed to fund the College’s mission-driven initiatives.

ACD News | Summer 2022 | 3 that have been recognized for ability, dedication, service, leadership, and achievement. That mass of competence represents the greatest potential for the College initiatives. Collectively, through our Sections, we have the best ideas and the greatest influence. The potential is unleashed when we are empowered and connected to the Section leadership, the Staff, and the Board of Regents. This connectional basis of structure is the functional strength of the College. The Board and Staff enable the Sections to be autonomous within the Mission and basic structure of the ACD. This allows a Section to implement initiatives that are relevant to their particular situation and the needs of their local community. This connectional relationship has a weakness common to autonomy. That weakness is the waiting for directives from the central body. The Board and Staff can provide ideas and support, but they cannot know the Fellows on the Section level or fully appreciate the unique environment of the Section. It is up to the Sections to create Mission-based activity that enhance the profession in their area. It is up to each Fellow to seek the opportunity to have impact on the profession. Neither the Fellow nor Section should wait to be asked but should step forward to lead and to contribute. It will take group connectional action and initiation on the individual Fellow level to confront the challenges of the profession.
Money, however, is not our only resource. The connectedness of the ACD Fellows through their Sections, fostered by the Board and Staff, is undoubtedly our greatest asset and a source of strength and stability for the profession. If not you, then who?

A less well-known philanthropist was the legendary peace activist and social reformer, Jane Addams. She famously opined that “action is the sole medium of ethics.” For Jane Addams, this was more than a catchphrase, it was her way of life. Young Jane was exceptionally gifted academically and at age 17, she graduated and was the valedictorian of Rockford Female Seminary. Shortly thereafter, she began to study of medicine with the expressed intention of service to the public as a physician but her medical school career was derailed by chronically poor health. Many years later on a trip to Europe with a colleague, she had the opportunity to visit a so-called settlement house in London and she soon realized that her life’s mission would be the creation of a settlement house and attending to the needs of those most vulnerable in society. Jane Addams lived out her creed of activism and philanthropy for the good of humanity by providing much-needed social services and compulsory education to working-class immigrants and laborers. It is said that Addams sought to foster a place where social progress, education, ethics, art, religion, peace, and happiness could be daily experiences. For her numerous contributions to the public good Jane Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 and she continued to live and work at Hull House in Chicago until she departed this life in 1935.
It is obvious when looking through a wider lens that philanthropy can take a number of forms and it does. It is said that philanthropy benefits

Philanthropy: From Prometheus to the Present Executive Director’s Corner
The word philanthropy is literally translated as the “love of humanity” and it is generally agreed that the first philanthropist was the Greek mythological figure, Prometheus. Legend has it that this Titan deity gave humanity two gifts to improve the human condition—fire and hope.
4 | ACD News | Summer 2022
In the late 19th and 20th centuries, industrialists like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Cornelius Vanderbilt transformed modern philanthropy by the sheer scale of their giving. More recently, business magnates Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are widely known for their philanthropy and their contributions to society. In fact, the Gates Foundation is reported to be the second-largest charitable foundation in the world, with an endowment of $49.9 billion. It is said that many munificent individuals spend much of their lives acquiring wealth and the remainder of their lives giving their fortunes away. Philanthropy takes many forms and there are many ways to give. What is common to all philanthropists is a loving desire to better the human condition.
It is hard to imagine that it is time to draft the message for the Executive Director’s Corner for the August newsletter. Of all the information that we provide in our publications, this is perhaps my favorite message to draft. This issue of the ACD News is devoted almost exclusively to those who support the College and its myriad missions through their generosity of time, talent, and treasure. This issue also gives us a window to view all of the activities that are planned for the 2022 ACD Annual Meeting and Convocation. Clearly, there is much to celebrate as we make the final preparations to deliver a world-class event deep in the heart of Texas. A brand-new cohort of Fellows will be welcomed into the American College of Dentists’ family, and this alone is ample cause for celebration. Many of the opportunities that are made available to our Fellows are underwritten by the generous contributions of our Fellowship to the American College of Dentists’ Foundation. The Foundation is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and we have planned many events to acknowledge this organizational milestone. This newsletter also includes our list of donors and by all accounts, philanthropy is alive and well in the College.

I would argue that “one should give until it feels good.” Philanthropy is a benefit in action and a centuriesold method of imbuing values to successive generations. Jane Addams believed that philanthropy is a mechanism that helps us negotiate the healing waters of human endeavor. On behalf of the American College of Dentists in our 2nd century of service to humanity, we wish to thank those who have contributed to our ongoing efforts to “advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry.” We look forward to welcoming you to your American College of Dentists’ family in Houston. “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” –Robert Louis Stevenson Jane Addams.

The fundamental purpose of philanthropy, simply stated, is to serve others; although it is widely known that philanthropy provides considerable benefit to the philanthropist.

Established in 2009, the Dows Scholarship was recently raised to $20,000. The Dr. Cecelia L. Dows Scholarship for Advanced Study in Ethics is offered annually. This is a competitive, onetime scholarship of $20,000 to be used towards a Master’s or Doctoral program in ethics. Recent recipients have attended Harvard and Creighton Universities. For more information and an application visit www.acd.org/scholarships or contact Suzan Pitman at suzan@acd.org.
“Many things in life inspire philanthropy, such as your faith in humanity and your belief in the human spirit to overcome.”
Recently established is the ACD Leader Development Program offered at the Kellogg Institute at Northwestern University, which furthers the leadership development of ACD Fellows. Three Fellows are selected every three years to participate in a new cohort of emerging dental leaders. This unique opportunity is through a partnership between the ACD, AAPD, and the university. The ACD Foundation covers most of the cost of attending each of the three years of the program. The College will begin accepting applications for Cohort VII in January 2023. The newest opportunity extended to Fellows through the Foundation is participation in the ADEA Leadership Institute. Participation in the ADEA Leadership Institute prepares emerging leaders in dental education for expanded roles in their institutions and the profession. Two $5,000 scholarships were made available for the 2022 program. These scholarships have been made available by a generous contribution from the Dr. Jerome Bright Miller Fund. Two additional $5,000 scholarships have been approved for the 2023 program and these scholarships have been underwritten by a generous donation from the Dr. Juliann Bluitt Foster Endowment Fund.
When we talk about giving, we must also define why are we giving; we give because of philanthropy and our commitment and passion for the ACD. Philanthropy can be defined as a critical part of our democratic society. It is different than charity, which focuses on eliminating social problems. It supports projects and endeavors from which we all can benefit. As stated, the Foundation promotes professionalism and ethics by providing scholarships for advanced studies, materials for dental students, and continuing education but also, it is important that we support leadership development for our Fellows.
Among the many projects that the ACD Foundation supports are our advanced education initiatives.

WHY GIVE?
The American College of Dentist Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. As our foundation continues to grow for the next 50 years, I am reminded of the value that the foundation provides for its members. The ACD Foundation was created to support educational, literary, and scientific initiatives that advance oral health and the dental profession; it supports educational and programmatic efforts that promote professionalism and ethics like scholarships for advanced studies in ethics, educational materials for dental students, and continuing education courses.

Happy Anniversary American College of Dentists Foundation! The ACD Foundation is celebrating 50 years of existence and as we celebrate our founding, I am reflecting on the concept of philanthropy and what motivates us to give.
In 2022, the American College of Dentists Foundation will celebrate its golden anniversary and the Foundation will continue to fund scholarships in ethics and leadership as well as an enhanced online ethics curriculum in direct support of the expressed mission of the College to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry. The 50th Anniversary will be celebrated in Houston, Texas, and we encourage all Fellows to enjoy the festivities and fruits of their sustained contributions. Your support of the American College of Dentists Foundation will enhance and sustain our efforts for the next 50 years and beyond.
If you’ve ever participated in an ACD continuing education session you have experienced the ACD Foundation in action. Since the new dental ethics learning site launched in 2018, nearly 30,000 courses have been successfully completed. Our ethical dilemmas videos have been watched thousands of times, and our Sections have hosted local events with large virtual participation. We are looking forward to returning to our well-attended in-person events at the annual meeting, and supporting our Sections as they continue with virtual, hybrid, and in-person events.
Philanthropy is derived from the Greek words phyllos, which means loving, and anthropos, which means humankind. A person who is involved in philanthropy is called a philanthropist and yes, I think we do love to give! My appeal to you is let’s join forces to support our beloved American College of Dentists, and we do that through the American College of Dentists Foundation.
In closing, I wish to add my personal gratitude to our two ACDF Consultants and Past Presidents—Dr. Tom Connolly and Dr. Pat Blanton. Their unselfish support in terms of time, talent, and treasure to the ACD Foundation is illustrative of their deeply held commitment to philanthropy and the American College of Dentists.

To quote our distinguished Executive Director, Dr. Theresa Gonzales, “We give today to support the founding principles of elevating the standards of dentistry through a thousand acts of professionalism and personal commitment which will allow us to remain the conscience of dentistry as we engage the challenges and issues of our time.”

The College received no petitions to the slate of officers presented by their respective nominating committees, and thereby announces the election results final. Congratulations to our newly elected Board members and officers! Nominations for the 2023-2024 Board of Regents will be accepted through March 1, 2023. For the next election, the positions of Vice President and President-elect are open. Also to be elected are Regents for Regencies 4 and 8. For more information, please contact Suzan Pitman at suzan@acd.org.
President Robert M. Lamb
The contributions of our outgoing Board members cannot be overstated. The members of the Board of Regents volunteer at least four years of service to the ACD, sharing their collected wealth of experiences, knowledge, and wisdom for the betterment of the organization and the profession. With much appreciation, the following members will rotate off the Board in October 2022.
Robert Lamb With minimal in-person meetings for the last couple of years, I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to seeing people and getting together with ACD Fellows and Candidates in Houston. As I start my Presidential year in Houston, the Regents, National Officers, and I want to be able to serve the Fellowship efficiently during our tenures. The Regents serve as a critical bond between the Sections and National Leadership. Good communication between the Regents and the Sections is mutually beneficial. Officers and Regents are eager to attend as many Section meetings as possible. The best way for this to be coordinated is through a request at the Executive Office. The ACD has a limited travel budget for Officers and Regents, and the Executive Office can assist in scheduling these visits. If Sections can help defray the ground costs of Regent or Officer visits, the Officers and Regents can make more visits. If you have a dental school with a SPEA chapter in the locality of your meeting location, we would like to try to meet with the SPEA students. Please contact suzan@acd.org to request a visit. Even if you are not requesting a visit, please furnish the Executive Office with the dates and location of your Section meetings. We are trying to maintain a calendar of ACD events and activities in all of the Regencies.

Group Practice Task Force Report
Early on in our research and deliberation it was evident that the scope that we were tasked with was broader than just DSO’s. It was expanded to include all group practices whether private or corporate. The task force charge included developing professional guidelines for group practice, for the employed dentist, and developing business models for small, medium, and large group practices based on professionalism and efficiency.
This group was well versed in dealing with this topic having a recent graduate in a group practice, two seasoned dentists in a group practice, one retired dentist from a solo practice who has dealt with group practices on the ADA level, one seasoned dentist in a solo practice, a vice president of a large dental supplier with expertise in dental products and sales and an ethicist from the academic realm. They are:
In addition to a White Paper, the Task Force developed a resource guide and a “Bill of Rights” for Group Practice. The White Paper and resource guide are published in their entirety at www.acd.org.
Following the ACD Annual Meeting in October of 2021, President Richard E. Jones appointed several special task forces to research and develop recommendations to further the work of the College. One such task force was given the directive to study Dental Service Organizations (DSO).

5. The dentist should address the cost of each treatment that is clinically acceptable and should not be pressured to propose more expensive options, encourage overtreatment, or engage in upselling to generate more revenue.
10. The licensed dentist as leader with the dental team should be sure all allied individuals are educated, credentialed, and maintaining appropriate skills to assure the safety of the patients.
4. The dentist should present to every patient all the appropriate treatment plan options, advantages, and disadvantages. The dentist must assure that each patient understands the rationale for each treatment option.
7. The dentist must not perform any procedures outside of the scope of practice or for which they are untrained.

6. The dentist should provide the dental treatment they planned for each patient under care. If the patient has been assigned to a new dentist, that dentist should re-examine the patient to assure agreement with the treatment plan.
2. The dentist is a professional with autonomy defining their role in the provision of dental care and diagnosis of dental disease.
8. The dentist must know the rules, regulations, and laws in the jurisdiction in which they are practicing and are required to adhere to these guidelines.
3. The dentist must fully examine any patient that has presented for dental care and prepare an appropriate treatment plan.
The biggest thing I learned, though is that dentists are social creatures. We crave human interaction. We sorely missed being with our patients and having meetings in person. I had thought that virtual meetings could be the way of the future, but I was VERY wrong. I know we needed to do what we did at the time. However, in meeting after meeting, I learned we all wanted to see each other in person and interact. I felt this somewhat at the ribbon cutting for the new ACD office last August where I met the leaders, board members and staff of the ACD for the first time. It truly hit me at my first true in person ACD Board meeting in Asheville in Spring of this year. So, I hope to see you all in Houston and next year in Orlando IN PERSON. Please find me and say hi!

Dentistry was way ahead of other health professions with infection control and protection. Dentists had routinely washed their hands, used gloves and masks, sprayed, or covered surfaces and sterilized all their instruments. The proof of this is shown by there being no documented cases of transmission in dental offices even though the offices have been listed as high risk. We should be proud of that.

The ACD is an incredible organization, and I am proud to be a Fellow and Regent. The staff and leadership put together two years of virtual convocations and programs in a trying situation. There were also many virtual meetings that I attended set up by the ACD staff.
Meetings were held virtually for many of the groups I was associated with, including the ACD. I thought these were great, I was close to the bathroom and refrigerator! They even had a virtual meeting to celebrate the 100 years of the ACD that I was invited to even though I was not a Regent yet. Slowly, more and more meetings were held in person.
The last couple of years have been strange times for all of us. Who would have thought that streaming movies and series would be so popular?
I had started 2020 as president of the Wisconsin Dental Association looking forward to a great year visiting all the state components and meeting with members in person. Then Covid hit and the world changed. We had conference calls, then virtual meetings like all of you did. I had daily calls with my Executive Director. We adapted to the ever-changing conditions that the pandemic threw at us. During that year I was honored to learn that I was named to be the American College of Dentists Regency Five Regent starting at the ACD Annual meeting. I also learned that the ADA and ACD meetings were to be virtual. I thought how are they going to pull that off? They both pulled it off in remarkable time and done well. It was not what many of us were used to or would have liked. During the early days of the pandemic, dentists stepped up and did the right and ethical thing by seeing only patients with emergent needs. This action possibly helped prevent the spread of the disease and freed up valuable professional protective equipment for hospitals. Later, as more was learned, dentists got back to work with updated protocols and the vaccine.
Tom RegencyRaimann5 Unusual Times and What I Learned Regent’s Reflection
Who would have thought that to Zoom would take on a whole new meaning? Who would have thought that wearing a mask would become so controversial?
Here is what I learned: Dentists are a caring, ethical group that worked for the good of their patients and society at large.
