💜 We can’t wait to see the next generation of dental hygiene professionals shine!

10/24/2026

As I prepare to close this chapter as President of the Pennsylvania Dental Hygienists’ Association, I’m reflecting on a year filled with highs, lows, lessons, challenges, and so many meaningful moments. 💜

When I was in second grade, I declared that I was going to be President someday. I’m not sure this is exactly what I had in mind — and my kids still think I’m the actual President! 😂 But this experience has taught me that leadership is about so much more than a title. It’s about the people you serve, the relationships you build, and the difference you make along the way.

I’m incredibly grateful to our Board, committee chairs, volunteers, and everyone who gave their time and energy to make this year possible. To Barb, thank you for your mentorship, support, and friendship. And to my family, thank you for the sacrifices, patience, and grace that made it possible for me to serve in this role. I couldn’t have done it without you.

To our incoming leadership, I wish you courage, creativity, and the freedom to dream big. Embrace new ideas, welcome change, and remember that honoring the past means continuing to build for the future.

As I pass the torch, I encourage every dental hygienist in Pennsylvania to **get involved, find your voice, and be part of what comes next.** PDHA’s future cannot be built by its Board alone. It takes members who are willing to show up, share ideas, advocate for our profession, mentor the next generation, and challenge us to do more. Our collective voice is our strength, and our collective action is what will move our profession forward.

**If you want to see change, be part of creating it. If you want to see growth, help make it happen. And if you believe in the future of dental hygiene, make your voice heard through PDHA.**

I may be closing this chapter, but my commitment to our profession and my belief in PDHA’s future remain stronger than ever.

Thank you for the privilege of serving as your President. The second grader who dreamed of being President would be pretty proud. 💜

Thank you all,
Kimberly M. Bury, RDH, PHDHP, BS
