Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is both humbling and inspiring to serve as President of the Greater Austin Dental Hygienists’ Association. At a time when our profession is facing challenges, it feels especially important to embrace the power of fierce synergy, the strength that emerges when we come together, united in purpose. Through this spirit of collaboration, we can help shape the future of dental hygiene with courage, determination, and hope.

I am deeply grateful to be part of an organization filled with such dedicated, passionate women who continue to advocate for our profession and for the patients we serve. Each of us brings unique perspectives and approaches, and this diversity contributes to our collective strength. These differences become valuable assets, fostering creativity, resilience, and growth within our association.

Our shared commitment to service is at the heart of who we are. Through outreach initiatives, we not only give back but also strengthen the bonds within our community. Just as importantly, we are dedicated to supporting and mentoring students, helping to guide the next generation of dental hygienists as they prepare to step into leadership and continue advancing our profession.

Together, we continue to rise, inspire, and lead with purpose. In unity, we are stronger. In service, we are extraordinary.

With gratitude and pride,
Meaghann Bradley, RDH
President, Greater Austin Dental Hygienists’ Association
