Hello, Patrons!
Just wanted to connect with each of you and let you know what was going on in my life.
As you may or may not know I am serving my second term as President of the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas (DLAT). 2016 Was my first year and I thought my only year, that is why I had started this patreon account last year because I thought I would be able to go into this dream of mine full force when I was done with my presidency! Well, I was elected to serve a second term, so here I am in 2017 struggling to fulfill my promises to you guys. For that, I apologize and I thank you for your support!
So what have I been up to?
As President, you also serve as Conference Chair. DLAT puts on a big state-wide dental lab conference every year in the spring called the DLAT Southwest Conference and Expo. We are in charge of bringing to tether educators and speakers for the dental labs of Texas and surrounding states for both members and non-members of the DLAT.
Because of your dedication to this industry education by supporting me, I would love to provide you a discount code for the registration! Plus I would love to see you there!
Dates: April 7-8th, 2017
discount code: dlatretainer
I am also partnering with Priscilla (JBC and Company) to put on a great ortho program this year! Our goal is 16 hours of pure ortho Continuing Education! We believe you will not find this at any other dental lab meeting.
As a Patron, I am secretly showing you our notes of who we are attempting to bring to the conference (it’s hard because there are not many ortho businesses that will sponsor a speaker)
