Thank you for logging onto the Nebraska Dental Hygienists’ Association’s website. I recommend you let this website be a tool to access information about legislative pursuits, continuing education programs, employment opportunities, networking, volunteer activities and special events. The image of NDHA is what you make it. I encourage you to be up-to-date on state and national issues affecting your profession so you can make informed decisions and hence, in the words of Gandhi, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.

I am grateful and excited to have the opportunity to serve this year as your president. I hope to rise to the occasions as they come before me and be a contributor in making our profession, our partners and ourselves “Emerge Better” than where we began!

Visit often and enjoy!
