LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Women in Dentistry:

Happy 2025!

I am overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to serve as the first-ever President of the DeW Life Board of Directors. It is an honor to step into this role and carry forward the extraordinary legacy that Anne Duffy has created.

I recognize this role is a significant responsibility, and I embrace it with humility and enthusiasm. My goal is to bring value to this amazing community by building on our strong foundation and inspiring new heights for DeW Life. Together, we can continue to advance our mission of inspiring, empowering, and connecting women in dentistry across all career paths - whether you’re a clinician, educator, entrepreneur, or industry professional.

DeW Life has always been more than a community for professional growth; it’s a movement. It’s a space where women can thrive, collaborate, and uplift one another, creating amplified effects of positive change in our industry and beyond. For me personally, this mission resonates deeply.

I’ve experienced firsthand the power of connection and mentorship in transforming careers and lives. As President, I am committed to ensuring that DeW Life remains a place where every member feels seen, valued, and equipped to achieve her goals; while expanding our organization to better serve your business development and growth needs.

One of our most exciting developments is the incredible Board of Directors we have strategically assembled. This dynamic group of leaders brings diverse perspectives and expertise, all united by a shared commitment to supporting women in dentistry. Their energy, ideas, and passion are already propelling us forward, and I am confident that their contributions will strengthen our community in meaningful ways, and in many ways that tactically support you, your career, and your business growth.

As we look ahead to 2025, I am thrilled to share a few key elements of our vision for the year:

FOSTERING COLLABORATION, INNOVATION, AND INCLUSIVITY

We want DeW Life to continue being the leading platform for women in dentistry by emphasizing collaboration and inclusivity. By listening to our members, we’ve learned that there is a strong desire for more tools and resources to support professional development and business growth. In response, we are curating partnerships and creating new opportunities to meet these needs intentionally and effectively. More details to follow soon!

INTRODUCING: NEW MEMBERSHIP TIERS

This year, we’re launching three membership tiers: Core, Premium, and Platinum. Designed to meet members where you are and help you achieve your unique goals. Our Platinum Membership stands out with exclusive Mastermind Sessions, VIP networking opportunities, and access to specialized benefits.

EXPANDING THE DEW LIFE RETREAT

Held at the beautiful Ballantyne Resort in Charlotte, NC, this year’s retreat will welcome 250 women, our largest yet! We are thrilled to offer elevated programming that includes leadership sessions, personal development workshops, business growth courses, and expanded networking opportunities.

We envision DeW to be a place for all women in dentistry to have community, mentorship, and a resource for applicable tools to sharpen your business skills and help support your growing business; whether you are an entrepreneur, a clinician, or work in the dental industry. We are here for you, we are here with you, and we are honored to continue being your resource for community and growth.

As we embark on this exciting journey together, I want to emphasize my commitment to listening. Your feedback, ideas, and aspirations are invaluable to shaping the future of DeW Life. I encourage you to share your thoughts with us so that we can continue to evolve and serve you.

If you haven’t already, I invite you to explore our new membership options and consider signing up for the 2025 retreat soon. The Platinum Membership + Retreat Bundle offers exceptional value and serves as a powerful way to invest in yourself and your future.

2025 is poised to be a transformational year for DeW Life. Together, we have the opportunity to elevate women in dentistry like never before. I am honored to help lead this community and can’t wait to see all that we will accomplish together.

With gratitude and excitement,

Christie
