President's Invitation
On behalf of the Arizona Dental Association (AzDA), I want to personally invite you to our 2009 Western Regional Dental Convention to help us celebrate "A Century of Caring," AzDA's 100th Anniversary.
Our Western Regional Dental Convention Task Force has worked hard to ensure a program of the highest quality continuing education. There will be over 40 speakers offering a full range of scientific courses, hands-on workshops, and a host of other topics and events that will add value to your experience.
The newly completed Phoenix Convention Center is a state-of-the-art facility and will provide a wonderful setting to mingle with friends and colleagues. The exhibit hall will be in a new location and much more convenient to classes and hotels. It will be filled to capacity with vendors ready to share new materials and meet your practice needs. Be sure and take advantage of show specials!
We extend a special welcome to our friends visiting from other states and regions of the country. The Phoenix valley offers many special events in March, including baseball spring training, Phoenix Suns basketball, some of the best golf courses in the country, theater, and the promise of great weather! We hope you will join us and take advantage of all we can offer.
The 2009 Western Regional Convention is sure to be very special and you won't want to miss it. I look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Regina Cobb, DDS
