As you are aware, SCDA's second DAD project has been set for August 5-7 in Greenville at the Carolina First Center.  We have received numerous volunteers and donations, but more are needed.  You can visit the SCDA website to access the volunteer form and make hotel reservations at the nearby Embassy Suites.

The South Carolina Dental Association (SCDA) and the South Carolina Oral Health Coalition (SCOHACC) have established an award to honor a dentist for excellence in providing care to and advocacy for individuals with special health care needs. This is the third year of the award, co-sponsored by Specialized Care Company, and nominations are now being accepted. 
 
Requirements: 

• The nominee must be a dentist licensed to practice dentistry in the State of South Carolina.
• Nominations can be submitted by anyone in the community other than the provider receiving the nomination.  (Author must include name and contact information).
• A formal letter written by the person submitting the nomination; stating why the nominee should be selected. 
• The letter should cite specific information that demonstrates how the nominee has provided exceptional care for patients with special needs.
• Deadline for nomination letter receipt (or postmark) is June 30, 2010.  (Electronic submissions are preferred).
