GLASS CEILING TRACK
While the term glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy, attendees of the 2022 ODA Annual Session will have a difficult time believing any of these highlighted speakers are in any way limited. The goal of this track, featured over all three days of the conference, is to showcase compelling female speakers who are not only considered to be experts in their fields, but who navigate the roles of academics, entrepreneurship, practice management, and clinical dentistry. While this track features phenomenal women, attendance is certainly not limited to them. Every gender is welcome to celebrate, share and learn from these excellent thought leaders.

Gina Dorfman, DDS
For almost two decades, Dr. Gina Dorfman has continually proved herself to be an innovative leader in the field of dentistry. As a dentist, practice owner, and entrepreneur, Dr. Dorfman has had the opportunity to engage with dental professionals across the country with the goal of helping them grow and thrive. Dr. Dorfman graduated from the University of Southern California in 1996, earning a degree in Biochemistry. She completed her dental training at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry in 2000 and shortly after started her practice near Los Angeles, California.

Because of her experience running multiple practices and leading a big team, Dr. Dorfman developed a unique insight into how efficient practices organize and operate and how dental teams can work together to overcome obstacles and reach their goals.
