Pennsylvania’s Dental Meeting was held April 6 at The Gettysburg Hotel. This was the first time since 2001 that our annual meeting took place at a venue other than the Hotel Hershey, and only the second time in history that PDA met in Gettysburg, with the previous occasion way back in 1871. Prior to the meeting itself, the Temple Alumni Reception and the Welcome Reception on Friday evening, April 5, provided opportunities for friends and colleagues from across the Commonwealth to connect and catch up. The Board of Trustees’ Dinner was also held April 5, with our Annual Award winners and CEO Camille Kostelac-Cherry being honored. In addition to the great slate of Continuing Education programs all day on Saturday, former PDA presidents gathered for their luncheon prior to the afternoon slate that included a Legislative Update, a visit from ADA executive director Dr. Kathleen O’Loughlin and the Business Meeting (including the Town Hall Open Forum). The Council of Presidents meeting closed out the day. Next year’s PDM is scheduled for April 25, 2020 at Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono.
