Dr . Stephen Kondis PDA President 1992-1993 PDA Speaker of the House 1986-1991
Organized dentistry has to occupy a certain portion of your time in dentistry . If you really want to have a great organization you have to be involved . And to be involved at that level you have to be involved with a certain amount of politics … That is the only way they ’ re going to have a voice . That involves a certain amount of politics and a lot of dentists don ’ t realize that until it ’ s too late … Some of my closest friends in dentistry that I had the opportunity to meet and to associate with in organized dentistry were some of my very best friends . And they were just good people .
