From our Member Services Chair, Barbi Lynch on the graduate dinner for EWU's class of 2026

"Tonight’s annual ADHA Northeastern Component graduate dinner was a reminder of why we love this profession and it is always a joy to encourage new grads to stay involved in their association, and remind them how bright the future of dental hygiene is. ✨
All of the component leaders and EWU educators shared about our journey into the dental hygiene profession and why we are members of the association. We also did a brief legislative update to encourage the students to get involved this upcoming legislative session.
A big shout out to the component leadership team, and to Aspen Dental and Toni Meyerkord for helping make it possible. 💙"
