“
Camille’s historical knowledge of all
things PDA was invaluable to me as a
leader. Her insight into why previous
boards made the decisions they
did and the policies created by our
previous House of Delegates guided
our board discussions. She always
had her finger on the pulse and
looked out for the best interest of
our members.
On a personal side, she was
genuinely interested in me as
an individual, openly shared her
family’s joys with me (she is the
ultimate Italian nonna) and shows
true compassion for the well-being
of the PDA staff. I thank her for her
dedicated years of service to our
organization and for her personal
friendship, and I wish her the best
in her retirement from the PDA!”

President 2019-2020
“
Every once in a while, the stars align
and we find the right person at the
right time. And so it was 25 years ago
with Camille. I was fortunate to have
been able to work alongside her for
almost 20 of those years, giving me
insight into how well our office in
Harrisburg was administered. The
members should be grateful we
had someone with her abilities at
the helm.
Thanks in large part to her
guidance, PDA evolved from
a relatively small operation to
a respected organization, both
statewide and nationally.
A dedicated and professional staff,
cutting edge communications, and
a profit generating subsidiary are
but a few of the landmarks we can
attribute to her tenure. Camille’s
commitment to PDA’s success
was extraordinary.
A statement I heard from her on
more than one occasion was,
‘I know this organization can be
better.’ If you attended one of her
many visits to the local and district
dental societies, you understand
that she went the extra mile to
try and make that happen.
On the personal level, the value
of what I learned from Camille
is incalculable, and it is now
benefitting those organizations
I’m involved with. Although I wish
her rich, full future in the next
phase of her life, PDA is poorer
in her absence.’

of the House 2010-2014
