 It is March 24, 2023, and the officers of the American College of Dentist are meeting in Rockville as part of our spring board meeting. We have the opportunity to honor two awardees who were unable to attend our 2022 Convocation in Houston in October. The first honoree is Dr. Kathy O'Loughlin, the 2022 recipient of the William John Guy's Award, the highest award given by the American College of Dentist. Dr. Bob Fiella, Vice President of the American College of Dentist and a past President of the American Dental Association will be reading Dr. O'Loughlin's citation. Dr. Kathleen T. O'Loughlin is a most deserving and highly qualified individual who has served the college, our community, and our profession with distinction for over five decades. She is the first woman to have served as the Executive Director of the American Dental Association. She has been a strong advocate for oral health care to disenfranchised populations while promoting outcomes-based health care delivery. Additionally, she is a leadership role model for women dental professionals. After earning her dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where she was the first female class president and valedictorian, she earned a master's degree in public health and health care management from Harvard School of Public Health. Early in her career, she established and maintained a private dental practice, following the example of her late father, Dr. John Trainor. She simultaneously served as an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University and continues to serve as faculty, as well as a member of the Tufts University Board of Trustees. She served in public health industry for 20 years and became president and CEO of what is now known as Delta Dental of Massachusetts. Dr. O'Loughlin was Chief Dental Officer for United Health Care. As a national and internationally renowned dental educator, administrator, researcher, and clinician, Dr. O'Loughlin has recently been awarded the American Dental Association's Distinguished Service Award. In 2021, she was the recipient of the Samuel B. Shapiro Award for Chief Staff Executive Achievement from the Association Forum Foundation. It is the highest honor the organization bestows on an association professional and is presented for outstanding service and accomplishments in association or nonprofit management. She also has received the Forsythe Institute's Icon and Oral Health Award, the Association Forum's 2019 Women of Influence Award, and the Lucy Hobbs-Taylor Award from the American Association of Women Dentists. Mr. President, Dr. Kathleen T. O'Loughlin is most worthy of the 2022 American College of Dentists William John Guy's Award. Dr. O'Loughlin, it is a special pleasure to present you with the William John Guy's Award. You have earned and richly deserve this recognition for your many outstanding accomplishments. Dentistry has benefited greatly from your years of leadership and exemplary service to our profession. Kathleen, it's a pleasure. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. O'Loughlin, for your years of service. Thank you so much. Well deserved honor. Thank you. The second honoree is Sonia Smith, a 2022 honorary fellow. Honorary fellowship is awarded to a person who, if they were a dentist, would be eligible for fellowship. Dr. Smith's citation is being read by Leo Rouse, a past president of the American College of Dentists and one of the 2023 recipients of the William John Guy's Award. Dr. Smith served on the American Dental Education Association's Diversity and Inclusive Advisory Group, now a fully pledged committee. She implemented recruitment and retention for unrepresented students and developed outreach programs to improve academic readiness at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Her research is in the areas of public health law and the linkages among social policies, educational inequities, poverty, residential segregation, and law and policies impacting health disparities. Dr. Smith co-authored the Adir Faculty Diversity Toolkit. She has been recognized for her contributions and has received the Adir Supervised Change Award and the National Diversity Council Influencer Award in 2021. Mr. President, it is my sincere pleasure to present a most deserving candidate, Dr. Sonja Smith for Honorary Fellowship in the American College of Dentists.
