President's Message
September, 2025
Hello friends,
What a blessed year we are having and a bright future ahead. I am thankful to be the new President of the Knox Area Dental Hygienists’ Association. Knox Area works hard to provide information, encouragement, and learning opportunities to help promote our great healthcare careers.
We are excited about the 2025–2026 season of Continuing Education opportunities. We strive to work hard for you keeping them not only informative, but enjoyable; also, providing time for networking and creating new friendships.
I want to thank everyone for their continued patronage and encourage others to consider joining ADHA, TNDHA AND KADHA, a tri-part membership for one fee. For members of TNDHA, your meetings are free, and the CE courses are discounted. There are so many other advantages to joining please feel free to ask or explore our website for more information.
I want to take a moment to thank my fellow officers and hygienists for their support and their diligence to make this next season of meetings incredible. Below you will find the 2025-2026 monthly meetings calendar, please save the dates. Make sure you are on our email communications system for continuing education information and registration. We all have a brighter future working and supporting each other.
Thank you for supporting KADHA.
