DCDS Inducts 2020-2021 Board Members via Zoom Meeting

For the first time in the long history of the Dallas County Dental Society, the Board of Directors changing of the guard took place electronically, rather than in person. Social distancing safeguards due to the Covid-19 pandemic prompted the induction of members into their new roles via a Zoom meeting.

Dr. Brad Crump, 2019-2020 DCDS President, gave the call to order, trailed by an invocation and induction of new members by Dr. Danette McNew. Following his induction as DCDS President for 2020-2021, Dr. Drew Vanderbrook spoke briefly, thanking Dr. Crump and exiting Board Members for their eventful year of service.

Pending COVID-19 restrictions, an in-person celebration of the new Board and recognition of exiting Board Members will take place Thursday, July 9, 2020 at the Hilton Dallas/Park Cities. Members who would like to attend can click here to register before July 1, 2020.
