Message from the President
 Dr. Ronald S. Good
There is an old adage that suggests life is not defined by the number of breaths you take, but rather the number of moments that take your breath away. Our GLAO meeting this year holds the optimal ingredients to provide this experience.
This year will be a joint meeting with the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists (MASO) to be held September 30 through October 3.
It has been a pleasure working with Connie Greeley, MASO President, and Natalie Parisi, MASO Program Chair, along with Bob Good, our Program Chair, and Steve Belli, Sponsorship and Exhibitor Chair. They have been working diligently to put together an amazing program. Dr. William Arnett, Dr. Domingo Martin and Dr. David Way will be speaking on topics including facial design; excellence in Orthodontics; accuracy of conebeam technology; and airway enhancements with palatal expansion. All topics will be emphasizing and utilizing the latest and greatest diagnostic modalities to achieve excellence.
A strong staff program is also in the works with Char Eash and Charlene White, addressing "What needs to be done in these tough economic times", and "Growing a practice today in a high touch - high tech world".
We will be offering an opportunity to sharpen your computer skills with New Horizons Computer courses (Excel, Power Point, Word, Publisher). In addition, "mini-user" courses will be available.
As a special treat, guest speaker Wendy Lipton-Dibner will speak to doctors and staff.
This year's meeting will be held at the fabulous Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida (www.TheBreakers.com). This premium destination borders the magnificent Atlantic Ocean, offering distinction with style and extraordinary attention to details and first class service. This place is fabulous!
In these precarious times, when our finances and time are at a premium, this is the opportunity to balance great continuing education and have a getaway vacation at the same time. This is a great destination for all ages. The child care program is absolutely exceptional. Relax by one of the many pools, run or bike along a scenic ocean trail, enjoy golf, tennis, shopping and great food. Special rates have been negotiated -- come early or stay late. This is a real treat! Mark your calendar.
Our Executive Director, Debbie Nunner, has been fantastic, giving attention to every detail to ensure a wonderful meeting. Please contact her at the GLAO (Debbie@AssnOffices.com), or myself at (rsg@goodorthodontics.com), if we can be of any assistance.
