AGD staff and experienced leaders met with the Iowa AGD Sept. 27 to assist constituent leaders during their highly anticipated Strategic and Tactical Assessment and Response (STAR) Visit.

Iowa AGD board members came together to host a daylong session to discuss and address various concerns as well as ways to improve their constituency. AGD past presidents W. Mark Donald, DMD, MAGD (2015–2016), and Thomas A. Howley Jr., DDS, MAGD (2004–2005), facilitated brainstorming discussions on topics such as leadership development, membership development and strategic planning. 

Iowa AGD STAR Visit attendees had this to say about the event:

“I was impressed with their ideas and the ease with which they directed the group in discussion.”

“I was intimidated going into this meeting but now feel like there is a clear, achievable plan for our future growth. Knowing what I know now, there was no reason to be intimidated.”

“Very effective visit and thankful that we got this opportunity. It will help us well into the future. Highly recommended for other constituencies.”

Whatever your needs, the AGD Constituent Services Team (CST) and STAR facilitators can help you achieve your goals. Submit an application for a STAR Visit in 2020.
