A host of presidents - many of whom were the first woman Presidents of their organisations - gathered at the American Dental Association (ADA) Conference recently in Las Vegas. Dr Kathy Roth was inducted new President of the ADA at the conference. A general dentist and a graduate of Milwaukee's Marquette University School of Dentistry, Dr Roth is just the second woman to hold the ADA's highest elective office. The first woman President of the ADA in 1992 was Dr Geraldine Morrow, who was present for the induction, as was Dr Michèle Aerden, the current and first woman President of the FDI, and Dame Margaret Seward, a former President of the BDA. The first woman President of the American College of Dentists, Dr Marcia Boyd received honorary membership of the ADA at the conference.
