The American Orthodontic Society 2022-2023 Officers & Directors President Jeffrey P. Dahm, DDS President-Elect Susan B. Tiede, DDS Vice President Greg Cannizzo, DDS An Update for Life Members As you probably already know, the AOS Board has been working to review ways to stabilize the organization financially. One of the things identified is that almost half of our members signed up for Life Memberships in 2010-2014 and, as a result, haven’t made an annual contribution towards member benefits after that. After much discussion with Life members and others in the organization over the last year, the board has decided to sunset the Life Membership option to help ensure the future stability of the organization and has notified Life members of this change. You can reach the full letter here: orthodontics.com/life/. Orthodontic Mountain Retreat We’re excited to be offering a unique course experience with the first Orthodontic Retreat in Dillion, CO on May 19-20, 2023, where you can enjoy a weekend orthodontic retreat with Dr. Brad Williams. If you love orthodon-tics so much that you’d love to get together with a small group of like-minded doctors to explore advanced concepts and discuss unique cases, this Orthodontics weekend mountain retreat is for you. The format will be a bit more free-flowing than a standard course. Half the day will be dedicated to lecture and half to mentorship which can include golfing, hiking, etc. This course is only open to AOS members. Secretary-Treasurer W.
