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.

WEBSITE
our website is a problem.  national isn't keeping up. our tools are poor.  hire someone to help us.  need an exec assist 1st. and then the website so it gets up there. 
write up a service ticket for doing what you want. BP Promotions American Fork (Dave)
DP to talk to Tracy about the Exec Dir.

HOD meeting- San Francisco this year.  not sure if nat'l will pay for delegate. Concerns for Advocacy should be addressed to Duane in newsletter.

Dave Peterson-Detroit meeting HOD was decided to separate Governance and Science meeting in 2019 and hold the HOD in Chicago at HQ.
Mastership-26 attendees. very successful.  November and May mtgs.  May 8-9.   Ortho/Pedo/sleep med. $400/.  Nov 6-7 special needs/geriatrics.  Aaron says Roseman is available so long as a room can be freed for the course.  The U is also available as is Ultradent.
Grant commented on the reviews for the November meeting.  Most were pleased.  2 had philosophical differences with Dr. Chan.   Roseman's graduation is June 6, 2015.
Matt has CE courses tentatively planned through May 2019.  It was agreed to hold off the change until 2016.  We discussed having CE in March and Sept.  Mastership will be held in May and November.
ADEA is held in March for the dental educators.
Mar 6-7, 2015.
First week in May and November for Mastership beginning in 2016.

UDA Luncheon-JSMB Friday. No speaker yet.  Roseman has 300 students.  in the past, we have opened up the luncheon to the students for free.  This year, however, none of the students have class on that Friday.  we discussed a free meal for AGD members (student or not) and $30 for non-AGD.  The U students haven't organized a constituency yet and we haven't visited them either to stimulate interest.  Discussed offering the meal to the U students like we did for Roseman students last year.  All attendees must RSVP to Ruedi or Dan.  Lynn suggested a $10 fee for all to commit so we don't pay for empty plates.  Cap the attendees if necessary.
Agreed to look into a reasonable fee speaker, $10 fee, 1 week RSVP to Reudi or Dan
some speakers might cost some money -Alan Hall, Thurl Bailey, Eric Rirey (Biofire CEO) were suggested.  Dave McMillan saw their bio's on Linked In.

Matt Webb-CE  Mike Bennett will help org the sleep med for Sept CE course.
Dan Boston has given suggestions for the May Fellowship Review course.  First Friday in March and Sept beginning in 2016. Same dates for 2015.

nominations for dentist of the year--Grant Quayle to be presented on the 19th.

PK Clark bone grafting course same day as AGD November 6-8 mastership course.  He has asked us to advertise the course and accept a 200 kickback per AGD member signing up.  We can let him advertise to our members.  Scott T has a concern about using the database this way.  Dr. Stucki to follow up.

400 for the UAGD mastership course.  Courtyard Marriott. fri and sat 8 hrs per day.  H night presentations 6:30-9:30pm. speakers arranged.  lecture 7-9 fri night @ ultradent by Clayton Chan open to anyone for $50. AGD to spend 2500. one sponsor at 1000 contribution. Dr. Chan's honorarium is 10K.  We need 100 people to pay the whole honorar otherwise he'll take what he gets  .  Neuromuscular occlusion.  Bring the team.  Fri Jim Guinn will speak 1/2 day hands on.  A flier is now ready to mail out for Fri night.  myotronics neuromuscular bite.  need casts. articulator. The whole weekend flier only will be sent out to certain people.  It's not ready yet.  David Peterson will get the info to Dave McMillan this week to send thru Alphagraphics.  There is only room for 34 at the  Master track course.  There was discussion about who to invite to what.

Our courses should be scheduled out at least a year in advance.  Just a few weeks in advance is not enough time--especially when we are planning multi-thousand dollar events.  When events are on the calendar and in the newsletter for several months, we will have better publicity, better attendance, more vitality and a better presence.

Scott Tracy is the Pres Elect and will set up a way to invite the U students to AGD events and be a student chapter.

The national meeting-- David Peterson was the Delegate.  2017 will be the last combined governance and scientific meeting.  JC wants to step down as the RD and have a replacement.
