Catherine Maurer, one of our board members

''After 30 years of managing a dental office, what a pleasure it was to attend my first AADOM Chapter meeting. To discover others that have the same challenges and experiences day-to-day as I do was exciting. Sharing ideas and having the support of other like-minded individuals has been indispensable. Our Chapter President, Betsy, was voted the national Practice Administrator of the Year, which is a tremendous honor, making her leadership of our group all the more rewarding!''
