Linda Miles SmileTree

In 2011, Linda Miles, Virginia Beach, Va., became a branch office of The SmileTree.

Miles joined dental practices and consultants throughout North America committed to supporting dental education and treatment projects in Guatemala, Nepal, India, and beginning in 2012, Vietnam.

"Danny (Bobrow) was one of the first attendees of my Speaking & Consulting Network program back in 1997," said Miles. "I am proud and honored to be associated with this latest Initiative, which does so much good for so many."

Daniel A. "Danny" Bobrow, SmileTree executive director, said: “Linda has been a part of our efforts since the beginning; well before there even was a SmileTree!”

Bobrow explained that The SmileTree is but the most recent outgrowth of the Climb For A Cause Foundation. The foundation funds oral health education and treatment projects overseas and presently funds nine clinics in four countries.

“Linda was instrumental in helping us establish a toe hold in the world of organized giving way back in 1998," Bobrow said. "She opened doors that might have otherwise remained closed. She even helped identify our first beneficiary.”
