My name is Greg Jeneary, and I am a general dentist practicing in Le Mars, IA. I am deeply grateful for the trust the organization has placed in me, and I look forward to serving our organi-zation for the next two years. Reflecting on our recent annual meeting at the Ritz Carlton Los Colinas in Dallas, TX, this past September, I am filled with pride at how far our organization has come in recent years. The energy, cama-raderie, and commitment to excellence were evident in every session and conversation. It was truly inspiring to witness the passion and dedication of our members. Over the past years, the AOS has experienced remarkable growth. Together, we have turned challenges into opportu-nities, strengthening our foun-dation and expanding our reach. Our organization is thriving, and I am confident that we will continue this upward trajectory. At the annual meeting, we were able to remember and honor one of the true “giants” of our organization, Dr. William (Bill) E. Wyatt, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 96. His vision, lead-ership, and dedication paved the way for many past successes and built the founda-tion for our future accomplish-ments. His contributions continue to inspire us, and we are grateful for all he has done. Looking ahead, I am excited to announce the introduction of new classes in myofunc-tional therapy, as well as the revival and continuation of our legacy pediatric early interven-tion course. These educational opportunities reflect our commitment to staying at the forefront of orthodontic care and supporting our members’ professional development. I encourage all members to remain engaged and support-ive. If you are considering taking a class or feel compelled to join a commit-tee, I urge you to reach out and get involved. Your partici-pation is vital to our contin-ued growth and success. Together, we will continue to make the AOS the premier organization for the general and pediatric dentist. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to excellence. Greg Jeneary, DDS
