Dear AGD Members and Future Members,

It is a true honor to serve as your President for the South Carolina Academy of General Dentistry (SC AGD). We stand at a pivotal time for general dentistry, and the strength of our profession lies in the collective commitment of our community.

Your membership in AGD is not just an annual fee—it is an investment in your career, your patients, and the future of general dentistry.

We are proud to be the premier resource for continuing education in South Carolina, offering high-quality programs that meet the rigorous standards necessary for PACE accreditation and apply towards Fellowship (FAGD) and Mastership (MAGD). Beyond continuing education (CE), your membership is crucial to our collective voice in state and national advocacy efforts, ensuring general dentists have a seat at the table on legislative and regulatory issues that directly impact your practice. I strongly encourage every current member to renew your commitment and continue benefiting from the educational excellence and professional community we provide.

SC AGD thrives because of the passion and dedication of its members. We are more than just an organization; we are a network of colleagues working to elevate the standard of care across South Carolina.

If you are looking for a way to maximize your membership, I urge you to get involved! Whether it's volunteering to help plan an event, serving on a committee, or considering a leadership role, your unique skills and perspective are invaluable. Involvement is the fastest way to build your professional network, share your expertise, and directly shape the future direction of the SC AGD.

The success of the SC AGD is directly tied to our growth. The broader our membership base, the stronger our voice, and the more robust our educational offerings become.

I ask every one of you to commit to recruiting one colleague this year. Think about a fellow dentist in your study club, neighborhood, or practice who shares your passion for lifelong learning and professional excellence. Invite them to an upcoming CE event, share your experience with the FAGD process, or simply point them to our membership page. Growing our numbers allows us to negotiate better opportunities and expand our influence for the benefit of all general dentists in South Carolina.

Thank you for your tireless work and dedication to your patients and our profession. I look forward to connecting with you at our next event and working together to make this a profoundly successful year.

Sincerely,

Amanda Komisarow, DMD

President, South Carolina Academy of General Dentistry
