Director, RDH eVillage
As the year draws to a close — and before we dive into 2006 — it's always a good time to reflect on our relationships and accomplishments of the past year. Each day brings us individual challenges and joys. I hope 2006 brings you renewed happiness and continued strength and courage to be true to yourself every day throughout the year.
In 2006, we will be constantly enhancing RDH eVillage's readability, adding new editorial features as well as some hidden surprises (all originating from your comments and suggestions). When you see me at a convention next year, I want to hear what you like and don't like — any and all ideas. If we don't get a chance to speak, please keep those e-mails coming. The RDH eVillage is a truly a dental hygiene newsletter by hygienists for hygienists.
The "Reader's Choice: Best of 2005" are a collection of the most widely read articles and featured RDH eVillage company links from 2005. How do we know these were the most popular articles and product information sought? Simple. Through the hard work and expertise of our very own Tripp Wiggins, techy-extraordinaire.
Tripp graciously, and without hesitation, supplies me with monthly reports on what you, the readers, are reading and which product links and/or information you are clicking on. In this way, the RDH eVillage can continually support the goal of being on the pulse of pertinent industry information and updates.
Have a great holiday season, and thank you for being such smart, opinionated, and excellent readers.
Kristine
