After a series of automobile accidents and resulting surgeries, 2022 Albert L. Borish Award winner Thomas A. Howley Jr., DDS, MAGD, was forced to give up his practice and told to stop all travel and volunteer activities. Instead, he continued to push his own capabilities.

The AGD2023 keynote address will be given by NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. His story is “A Journey of Perseverance” that includes child loss and multiple bouts of oral cancer.
