A Message from Society President Slade Lail
Hinman, The Tradition Continues
Our Hinman Dental Society is continuing to work hard for all of its members and “the hits keep coming.” More than 320 members were in
attendance for the November meeting featuring Dr. Mike Pruett. As always, he did not disappoint with his fast-paced and entertaining lecture
on “Managing Misfortunes and Complications in the Dental Practice.” Our next Membership Meeting is rapidly approaching and will take place
on January 23 at the Georgia Aquarium. It will feature Mr. Bob Kulhan with his discussion on “Culture – How Do Your Patients Feel When They
Leave Your Office?” Please plan on bringing your staff to hear this entertaining and informative lecture, which will be followed by a great dinner
for all attendees. This is a wonderful way to do something special for your dental staff and show them how much you appreciate everything they do!
Speaking of staff, I want to recognize our incredible Hinman Staff. They truly are a team like no other. Led by our Executive Director, Lynn Leidel, the Hinman team makes everything happen,
resulting in a Society that provides top-notch CE, gives back to our profession and puts on the best dental meeting in the nation. Thank you all so much for everything you do.
Hinman 2025 is just a few months away and is slated to be the “Best Hinman Ever.” Kicking things off at our Keynote Session will be nationally-known comedian Josh Sneed who is sure to entertain
us all. Our General Chair, Dr. William Rousseau, has been working hard for three years to plan this Meeting and I’m sure it will not disappoint. Registration for the Meeting is now open, so please
sign your staff up early in order to secure a spot in the classes they would like to attend. Also, don’t forget to sign up for your eight hours of service that is required of all Hinman members. Fulfilling
this requirement will ensure you and your family receive one free night at Hinman’s Annual Meeting. If you don’t have a committee assignment, simply call the Hinman Office and they can help.
The 2025 Hinman Annual Meeting will be at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN. Our chairs, Miles and Anthea Mazzawi, are gearing up for a fun-filled weekend for the whole family
to enjoy. This is a new venue for Hinman and excitement is building! If you and your family decide to remain on property at the resort, you can enjoy the indoor/outdoor water park, spa, indoor
gardens, lots of shops, restaurants and bars. There will also be several off-property activities, so there’s sure to be something for everyone.
In an effort to add to the many top-quality CE opportunities, the Hinman Dental Society recently offered an additional in-person course at the Hinman Executive Office. Our soon-to-be Member,
Dr. Matt Yeung, presented a course entitled “All Aboard the 3D Printing Train” on December 13. Thanks to everyone who attended. We look forward to offering more CE at the Hinman Office in the future.
Once again, it’s truly an honor and privilege to serve as your President this year. I look forward to the new year to come.
