This site contains more than twenty dental-related mailing lists and newsgroups. It contains useful links to educational resources, careers in dentistry, recruitment, events and conferences, patient education, an image library, and a CD-ROM store. This Website provides dental professionals with direct links to manufacturers, suppliers, management services, and business and financial information in a centralized, interactive resource center. The charge of this group was to make recommendations for improving the partnership between chapters and vendors who sponsor or exhibit at chapter meetings. Task force members have spoken with vendors and chapter meeting planners to determine what has been working and what needs to be addressed to enhance vendor and chapter relations.
Vendors are vitally important partners and often a key source of support for chapter meetings.
These meetings provide opportunities for vendor representatives to hear praise, comments, and suggestions, as well as become acquainted with many MLA members at one time. These tips can serve as starting points for conversations at chapter planning meetings this fall. Watch for the complete task force report later this year. The Genius Is in the Details Include as much detail as possible with your invitation, such as the anticipated audience, the professions represented, and the who, where, when, and how of the meeting. Make sure there is sufficient room in the exhibit area for vendors, tables, and equipment.
