PDA House of Delegates adopts
Statewide Dental Marketing Plan
including print advertisements
in People, Time, Ladies Home Journal
and Readers Digest.
Dr. Peter Korch
PDA Speaker of the House 2010-2014
As Speaker of the House of Delegates, the first time I
called the House to order will be something I will never
forget. On the flip side of that, I will also never forget
that I was the one who adjourned it for the last time.
It is often said that real business happens outside of
meeting rooms, and for PDA, that was my experience.
Some of the Board of Trustees dinners were unforgettable,
both in content and camaraderie.
