Dear DCA Family,
CELEBRATING THE CAREER OF DCA’S STAN KINDER On behalf of the Business Development team, I’d like to announce the retirement of Stan Kinder. He has served Dental Care Alliance for the last eight years, helping to attract and make us the partner of choice for the industry’s best dental practices and professionals in the Mid-Atlantic Region. “It’s been my pleasure to know and work with Stan since 2007,” shared Dr. Craig Abramowitz, Executive Vice Chairman for Dental Care Alliance. “Over the last 12 years we have enjoyed our successes, and lamented with one another over some failures, but through it all Stan Kinder has always been the consummate professional.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from DCA at the end of October. Evolving disabilities related to my multiple sclerosis diagnosis renders the travel needed in my role an ever-more challenging proposition. It has been my distinct privilege to work with so many exceptionally qualified people in virtually every area of the company — I will miss that interaction and support. DCA is truly a best-in-class organization and I believe destined for continued success and growth. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to that success in some small way. To the extent to which I can, I will continue to surface and send leads to DCA. This is a great way for me to remain connected to the organization and work that I love.
It has truly been a privilege to work with him and I
