“We really look at them as the brain trust in all of the technical aspects of
the Institute and thank them for helping turn our vision of what the facility
should be into a reality from which all of our students around the world will
benefit.
“They remarkably combine the talents of business, technology and
art,” he continued, “and have given so generously to the dental profession. I
want to personally thank them for their time and financial support of our
continuing education activities.”
