Meet our New Executive Director 
Howard student competitorsJessica Smith Selected as OAGD Executive Director; Here are her introductory words.
 
It's a privilege to introduce myself as the new Executive Director for the Oregon AGD.  Oregon has been my home for fifteen years after I migrated from Ohio to attend the University of Portland.  I have had the pleasure of working within the dental community since 2008 at the OHSU School of Dentistry, Office of Alumni and Development.  I am grateful for this opportunity to continue supporting dental professionals in my new role at the Oregon AGD.
 
My first official day was Monday, May 3rd.  I look forward to sharing my ideas and learning from you on how we can expand the Oregon AGD while maintaining the existing level of professionalism that is provided to the almost 1000 members.  I know that together we can continue to grow this vital organization by connecting you with the latest in dental education excellence. 
 
It's a joy to be able to work with so many familiar faces while I look forward to meeting everyone else at the upcoming events.
 
Sincerely,
Jessica Smith
Oregon AGD Executive Director
