HOW TO ENTER
HONORING RDH'S
"It takes bravery to lead and to serve others, even if you do it alone. Fear gets smaller with every brave step you take. As women, we are our greatest advocate and our greatest enemy. Developing a ‘can do’ attitude to overcome fears or burnout can be the catalyst to leadership."
Toni Meyerkord
BS, HRD
"As dental hygienists, we rock, and we make a difference every day.”
