District VI Trustee Report, November 2020
AAOMS District VI Trustee
Mark A. Egbert, DDS, FACD, FACS
Greetings from the District VI Trustee,
I am grateful to District VI for the support and confidence shown me as your AAOMS Trustee. I will continue to bring hard work, dedication, and a love for the specialty to the AAOMS Board table from our district. The states in the Western Society possess an important voice in leading AAOMS forward. Your collective leadership and involvement are incredibly important.
The 2020 Virtual AAOMS Annual Meeting recently concluded. Despite the many challenges it takes to host such a large event completely online, we had a successful meeting! AAOMS thanks the many attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and guests who contributed to the success of the first-ever Virtual AAOMS Annual Meeting. Attendees have access to the meeting education platform until December 10, 2020. In addition, you can also view the latest products and services in the Virtual Exhibit Hall. The last day to received continuing education credit is January 31, 2021. The virtual format combined high-quality educational content from the traditional Annual Meeting and the Dental Implant Conference into one distinctive meeting. Attendees received world-class presentations and a community-oriented platform that allowed for peer-to-peer engagement. The President’s Event featured a presentation by special guest Dr. Anthony S. Fauci as well as a conversation between AAOMS President Dr. Victor Nannini and Jay Leno, former host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”
The House of Delegates completed the work of the association and elected a new slate of officers. Dr. B.D. Tiner (San Antonio, Texas) is AAOMS’ new President, Dr. J. David Johnson (Oak Ridge, TN) ascended to President-Elect, and Dr. Paul J. Schwartz (Pittsburgh, PA) was elected Vice President. Dr. Victor L. Nannini will serve as Immediate Past President and will continue to provide counsel to the board.
A report of the actions of the 2020 AAOMS House of Delegates can be found on the AAOMS website. Several Resolutions were passed for first reading that will potentially impact our practices and membership requirements. I encourage you to read these and consider them carefully. They will be deliberated and acted upon by the 2021 House to be amended, passed, or rejected.
I encourage you to read the AAOMS Member Alerts and President’s Message, and to visit the AAOMS website frequently for new information as it comes available. The most recent President’s message from Dr. Tiner included a link to the letter that AAOMS sent to CNN producers following the perceived slight to OMS included in a report given by CNN anchor, Mr. Jake Tapper. I would encourage you to review this via Dr. Tiner’s November 4 communication.
I am honored to serve as your District VI Trustee. I am confident that we will continue to get through this trying time. Please do not hesitate to reach out with your suggestions, comments, or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Egbert, DDS, FACD, FACS
