Mildred “Milly” Goldstein, the first woman to chair the board of directors at the Dental Trade Association (DTA) and former president of the Harry J. Bosworth Company, passed away this week.
In February 2017, Oral Health America honored Goldstein with the organization’s Tribute Award, which recognizes leaders who influence oral health access during a career.
Beth Truett, president and CEO for Oral Health America, said during the award’s announcement that Goldstein’s “loyalty to Oral Health America’s mission and work as a board member and her commitment to the dental industry are exemplified in everything she has accomplished. Ms. Goldstein changed the landscape of the industry as the first female president of a dental company. She was also dedicated to the field as chair of many organizations, including having the honor of serving as the first female chair of the American Dental Trade Association.”
Her funeral will be hosted at Chapel Heights Memorial Park in Arlington Heights, Ill. On Dec. 26.
