Dear Colleagues,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President of the Jacksonville Dental Society for the upcoming year. As
we look ahead, I am filled with enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie before us to grow as a profession, support
one another, and continue providing exceptional care to our communities.
The Jacksonville Dental Society is built on a foundation of education, collaboration, and service. In the coming year,
we will focus on enhancing professional development, expanding member engagement, and fostering a sense of
community among our members. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a recent graduate, your membership
and involvement are vital to the continued success of our society.
We will continue to provide quality continuing education opportunities on topics that range from oral pathology to
current updates in dentistry, advocate for the interests of our members at the local and state levels, and give back to
the community through our annual event, Give Kids a Smile.
I encourage each of you to stay engaged, share your ideas, and make the most of what our society has to offer.
Thank you for your trust and support. Together, we can make this an outstanding year for the Jacksonville Dental
Society and for the future of dental care in our community.
With appreciation and excitement,

Laura Weaver, DMD
