May surgery course AJ Stosich

Mar Dave mcmillan roseman course

AGD scholarship for the Roseman students the “Utah Academy of General Dentistry Eric Vogel Scholarship”?  Eric was a member, if I am not mistaken, of the AGD.  Perhaps the scholarship could recognize the adage that it is better to give than to receive, which he exemplified.  

Decision in Dec 2017 to allocate $1000 to Roseman per year for student activities and 2 $500 scholarships to deserving students as determined by AGD membership, financial need and judged by the Roseman AGD chapter presidency and advisor.

Sept Pros and Esthetics -ideas for speakers:
there is a May dave hornbrook course-implants/esthetics/ Nobel sponsored. UT valley dental lab. good lecturer. 2 other possibilities seen at AGD annual mtg. 
other possibilities from Dave Peterson-LVI Sam Karani, Kabu Raman (Miss), mike Isaki-Sacramento, Curtis Westerson (good for marketing) Calgary, Jay Gerber ortho NY  , 

Dave- working on Nov course. could use more members on committee and someone to eventually replace Dave (Jason, Jeff, Blake,). 
about time to re-accredit for next 5 yrs. 

AFFILIATIONS
Epic lab help--Dave --they wanted to start a study club on lasers w /dr. Losee a few yrs ago. wanted to charge 2500 per yr. Scott is interested in joining AGD.   the money trail seems obvious here. we're a non-profit org. we give our time, but epic doesnt seem like its all altruistic. who gets paid?  where does the money go?  PACE cert can't have confliuct of interests.

       The UT AGD WAS BUILT FROM ASHES BY VOLUNTEERS WHO PAID FROM THEIR OWN POCKETS TO KEEP THE GROUP GOING IN ORDER TO KEEP IT IN THE BLACK.  YEARS AGO, THE GROUP COULDN'T EVEN COVER OUR OWN COSTS.  WE ARE FINANCIALLY SECURE TODAY BECAUSE OF A GREAT DEAL OF SACRIFICE.  THE INTEREST HAS NEVER BEEN TO MAKE A PROFIT, AND MONEY IN OUR ACCOUNTS HAS NOT REPAID PAST SHORTAGES.  WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO KEEP CE COSTS EXTREMELY LOW FOR MEMBERS.  IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NON-PROFIT GROUP.  IN PARTNERING WITH OTHER GROUPS, ONE OF THE PREEMINENT CONCERNS IS THAT IT REMAINS FAIR TO MEMBERS.  IN OUR DESIRE TO PAY ALL THE BILLS AND ROUTE MONEY DIRECTLY THRU THE UAGD FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, WE ARE WANTING TO CONTROL THE MONEY TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE IS PROFITING FROM OUR MEMBERS AND THEREBY LOSE THE FINANCIAL TRUST THAT HAS BEEN BUILT THRU THE YEARS.
      EPIC LAB PROPOSED AT THE LAST MASTER TRACK IN NOVEMBER TO HOST A SPECIAL COURSE FOR THE HANDS ON PORTION OF THE ESTHETIC ASSIGNMENT.  THEY PROPOSED OUT OF HAND THAT THE COURSE FEE BE $2500 OF SO.  THIS IS FINE.  HOWEVER, WHEN A COURSE IS SPONSORED BY THE AGD, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE COURSE FEE DOESN'T JUST LAND IN THE POCKET OF SOMEBODY.  IN OTHER WORDS, THAT THE FEE IS REASONABLE TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE COURSE.  THE UAGD WANTS TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE MONEY TRAIL.  A COURSE CAN BE OFFERED BY ANY GROUP FOR PROFIT, BUT ANYTHING AFFILIATED WITH THE UAGD SHOULD HONOR THIS UNSTATED COMMITTMENT TO OUR MEMBERS.
