TAKING YOUR JOURNEY TO THE NEXT LEVEL Piers by Richard Reinitz, DDS, FAGD
VIEW EVENTS ONLINE: www.TAGD.org/events
I TELL DENTAL STUDENTS AND GENERAL DENTISTS THAT JOINING THE AGD COULD BE THEIR BEST PROFESSIONAL DECISION. IT WAS FOR ME. THE ADVOCACY COUNCIL IS ESSENTIAL FOR PROTECTING DENTISTRY FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCES THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE INTERESTS OF OUR PATIENTS AS A FIRST PRIORITY. THE CE AVAILABLE IS SECOND TO NONE … FELLOWTRACK AS A STUDENT, NEW DENTIST STUDY CLUB UPON GRADUATION AND MASTERTRACK FOR CONTINUED ADVANCED GROWTH. ADVICE AND COUNSELING FROM EXPERIENCED MEMBERS ARE FREELY SHARED. THE TEXAS AGD IS MUCH MORE THAN AN ASSOCIATION. IT IS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. BEN WARNER, DDS, MAGD MEMBER SINCE 1980 | HOUSTON

GOOD LEADERS AND MENTORS PUT OTHERS FIRST, AND ARE “SERVANT-LEADERS.” THEY DO NOT LOOK TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING THEM, BUT RATHER, THEY LOOK TO TRAIN AND INSPIRE OTHER LEADERS. TEXAS AGD EMBODIES THAT CULTURE OF SERVANT-LEADERS MENTORING FUTURE LEADERS IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE PROFESSION OF DENTISTRY. RALPH COOLEY, DDS, FAGD MEMBER SINCE 1984 | HOUSTON
