Dear Colleagues,
I hope you are all well, healthy and safe.
I would like to start out by extending my warmest wishes for upcoming New Year. May it be full of health and prosperity for you all.
I would like to start my presidency by thanking everyone for their support and confidence to allow me to serve as president of IACDE for 2023-24. I hope to uphold the integrity and dedication of the many presidents that have served before me. This is a very big challenge because IACDE has become the most active Society in our field today, not only by its role, but for the outstanding contribution of all its members.
The beauty of being a member of organized society is that the volunteers make this organization great through their dedication to helping all members thrive. IACDE is filled with both new and seasoned professionals with knowledge and experience in all aspects of dentistry. Having a large, diverse and engaged membership on the local, state and national levels gives us the resources to allow our profession to thrive and grow stronger for years to come.
My vision for IACDE is to maintain our commitment to address the needs of our members and to provide the support required to further carry out the promotion of oral health to the masses. I expect to continue the good programme initiated by our PAST EC and hope for the support and the unity of the new committee to further strengthen the betterment of the association throughout the year.
Our association and its leadership are cognizant of the changing landscape of conservative dentistry and Endodontics. Through constant surveying of our membership, the dental environment, and the dental profession, we acknowledge the valid concerns that Endodontics have regarding a wide range of issues which may affect the future of our specialty, and we listen and act.
I would conclude by saying, Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.
Yours truly,
Dr. Deepak Sharma,
President, IACDE.
