Abstract
Gary D. Oyster, ADA Trustee for the 16th District, emphasizes the importance of understanding the "Why" behind the ADA's mission, which is to make people healthy. This guiding principle is crucial as the ADA undergoes governance changes and seeks to connect with young dentists who value health equity, diversity, and inclusion. The ADA's initiatives, such as the Dental Lifeline Network and Give Kids A Smile, exemplify efforts to improve community health. Oyster highlights that a clear "Why" statement can serve as a compass, attracting like-minded individuals and addressing current challenges in the profession.
