ST. PETERSBURG, Florida--Shannon L. Pace, DA II, was recently elected to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Board of Directors.
The announcement was made by Joan Forrest, President and CEO of the Dawson Academy. Pace, a Dawson Academy faculty member, is the first dental assistant elected to the AACD Board of Directors.
Pace was elected last month during the AACD's annual session held in New Orleans, La. The Board of Directors comprises 16 elected officials from varying cosmetic dental backgrounds.
The board's chief responsibilities include supervising the direction of the AACD, determining its policies, and maintaining the AACD standard of excellence throughout all aspects of the organization.
"The AACD made the right choice by electing Shannon to its board," Forrest said. "The AACD continues to recognize that dental assistants are extremely important to the dentists, and that assistants are doing more than what was expected of them years ago. Shannon is becoming a star in the dental industry, and we at the Dawson Academy are thrilled that she's been named to such a prestigious board."
"I am honored to serve on the board," Pace said. "This is the premier organization for advancing excellence in cosmetic dentistry, and I am excited to help lead the profession into the future."
