You'll leave with simple tips and tricks to put you at ease.

We invite you to come, to grow, and to expand your vision for the future!

We want to fill a void that exists regarding female leaders and inspirational voices. To show young ladies entering the profession that the opportunities are real. To encourage those already digging in to raise their voices and for those seasoned veterans to give back and refuse to quit, because as we know, DeWs never retire!

"I feel so blessed to have been a part of this retreat these past few days. What can I say? Life changing, inspiring, full of joy & love. Meeting everyone has been wonderful! I love the break out sessions where we really got to dive in and talk about the important stuff. If you are a woman and you are involved in dentistry in any way, get yourself over to DeW and join this amazing group." –Barb Stackhouse RDH, M.ED.
