AGD Region 1 has established a recognition award and scholarship in honor of the late June Warren Lee, DDS, MAGD, who passed away in 2010. Numerous dentistry organizations benefited from Lee’s volunteerism over the last 40 years, including AGD.

This year’s Convocation Ceremony was striking because of the number of spouses, siblings and family members who were honored together.

AGD2021, AGD’s annual scientific session, was held June 9–12 in Austin, Texas. The meeting was a hybrid event, which included in-person and virtual courses. Nearly 150 courses, including 52 sold-out courses, were presented to over 2,600 registrants.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, announced that it is releasing revised reporting requirements for recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments.

AGD Editor and "The Daily Grind" blogger Timothy Kosinski, DDS, MAGD, discusses his experiences at AGD2021 and the excitement of lecturing again at in-person meetings.

During AGD2021, the AGD Foundation was able to provide oral cancer screenings to employees of the host hotel, Fairmont Austin, as well as to AGD2021 attendees. The Foundation raised over $22,000 through its electronic silent auction.
