AADOM 2026 Orlando — DPLN Crew Highlights 🚀✨
What a memorable conference — Elaina and six DPLN members returned energized, inspired, and full of gratitude. We celebrated milestones (Julie and Lori earning Fellowship distinctions), honored leadership (Elaina and Lisa Maurer nominated for Practice Administrator of the Year), deepened relationships over sponsor-supported dinners, and absorbed practical, high-energy sessions that sparked collaboration ideas for future DPLN and study club events. Attendees left motivated to pursue professional distinctions (FAADOM, MAADOM, DAADOM) and encouraged by a positive, supportive culture that fueled growth and higher goals. In short: we laughed, learned, celebrated, and built connections that will drive DPLN’s work year-round.
Onward and upward to Arizona next year! 🌵☀️

What an inspiring and entertaining evening for the Contra Costa Dental Connection! 🦷 We were honored to welcome guest speaker Lorie Streeter, who’s wonderfully fun personality kept us engaged, motivated, and giggling throughout our discussion. She delivered an insightful talk on “Maxing Out Your Day: Operational Habits That Turn Chaos Into Consistency.” Her practical, no-nonsense strategies truly resonated — providing clear, actionable steps to help elevate our daily operations. This conversation was exactly what our group needed.
A heartfelt thank you to Lorie 🦄 (and her husband, Roger) for sharing their time, expertise, and generosity — your guidance made a real impact 🫶🏻

Recap Alert! 🚨 Did you miss our session on Story-Based Marketing?

We dove deep into why traditional dental marketing is failing and how the “Story Method” changes everything. 📖✨

The Highlights:
✅ How to stop being “just another dentist” and start being the chosen practice.
✅ The secret to using stories to lower patient fears and build instant trust.
✅ Why emotional connection is the #1 driver for practice growth in 2026.

Huge shoutout to our amazing sponsors for making our recent event so special! ❤️

A special thank you to our sponsors Adam Smith with Schooley Mitchell and Steve with PNC Bank for their incredible support.

Not only were they there with us, but they also surprised everyone with goodie bags filled with snacks and note pads! 🥨📓

It’s small acts like these that start a movement and spread the love our community needs. We are so grateful to have partners who truly care!
