SAVE THESE DATES! 2014 – 2015 SOCIETY MEETINGS
I am so proud and appreciative of our members for their countless hours of service to make this Hinman Dental Meeting so successful–whether it be for arriving early with a smile on your face to serve as clinic captain or information guru, for hosting our speakers with that Southern hospitality, for representing our society so well amidst the 21,000 attendees, or for just saying yes when we asked for your help. Our members are the secret ingredient that makes the Hinman Dental Society so special.
I was honored and humbled to stand before the huge audience at the Keynote as the first female president in the 102 year history of the Hinman Dental Society. It is fabulous that the Society has formally joined the ranks of great professional organizations that recognize and welcome dedicated women in the highest leadership roles. Dr. Ben Carson was inspirational as he shared a similar message that in our American society, success and advancement in any aspect of life should depend on commitment, a conscientious work ethic and character, regardless of gender or race.
Dr. Thomas P. Hinman established our legacy of attracting the best speakers in the profession to introduce dental advances and innovations to improve patient care. Through the great success of the Hinman Dental Meeting, the Society continues to support dental education. I am proud to report that in the last five years alone, the Hinman trustees have awarded over five million dollars in grants for dental education. In fact, the Society just received the very prestigious William J. Gies Award for Vision, a preeminent recognition of exceptional contributions to and support of dental education. Dr. Hinman would be very proud.
As great as its contributions are to dental education, the Hinman Dental Society provides so much more for its members. My journey through the Society illustrates how special Hinman is for its members. I became a member in 1996. This network helped me become quickly established in the Atlanta dental community. I had the incredible good fortune of meeting a Hinman member, Dr. Harold Lanier, and buying his practice. The Society provided this newcomer to Atlanta an incredible network of colleagues–those to cover my practice and help me treatment
plan challenging cases, and even friends to give me advice about schools in Atlanta.
My husband and three children also benefited from getting involved with Hinman and attending the annual meeting. Jillian and Caroline always looked forward to horseback riding. One of my dearest family memories when

The Real Benefits of the Hinman Dental Society
Jane Puskas
Alex was 9, he, with a little help from John, caught an enormous Cobia that was served on the buffet at the annual dinner. Create your own special family memories. Be sure to join us at Jekyll Island Club Hotel for our annual meeting June 13-15, 2014. Where else can you escape to a fabulous resort, enjoy great Hinman friends, and have the Hinman trustees pay for one night?
So often we praise Hinman for all that it does for its attendees and speakers, but Hinman is also great for what it does for its members. Thank you, Hinman, for what you have done for me and for my family. I encourage my younger colleagues, talented men and women of diverse backgrounds to get involved in the Hinman Dental Society. As much as we invest our time and energy in the service of Hinman, Hinman returns to its members, and to our wonderful profession, so much more.

Words can not describe how pleased I am with the 102nd Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting. As General Chairman, it was impressive to watch our society come together like no other meeting in the country and exemplify Dr. Hinman’s dream. I thank all the committee chairmen, members and hosts who worked so hard to do what we do best at Hinman! The meeting was a huge success in many ways. While some financial records were set, my goal was always to have a program that was diverse and of the highest caliber, and we achieved that goal.
My Program Chairmen Jane Puskas and Eddie Pafford were remarkable with their guidance in making the scientific program so strong and it was a pleasure working with them
General Chairman’s Message
102nd Hinman– Best Ever
Brian Carpenter
The Hinman Staff continually makes all of us look great and, quite simply, they are the best!
The Keynote and Dentist Reception were superb and there is nothing about this meeting I would have changed.
I sincerely thank the society for allowing me to serve as your General Chairman, but most importantly I thank my wife Pam for her unconditional love and support through this process. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Annual Meeting.

6 7May PREVIEW REVIEW
The Official Publication of the Hinman Dental Society
The Hinman Dental Society membership is unique; there are many backgrounds, locations and histories within the group. This article is part two of a two-part series highlighting dental families spanning multiple generations.
Jeff Kendrick, Father Ken Kendrick
Jeff had the opportunity to work at his father’s office, at a young age, cleaning rooms. He enjoyed being with his dad and making money and described the office as the “come look over my shoulder practice.” Jeff also enjoyed going to GDA and Hinman meetings for their family vacations.
Jeff went to the University of Alabama for dental school and he and his wife, Sherry moved back to Fayetteville where they grew up. He started his residency in his Dad’s practice and enjoyed having a mentor to bounce ideas off of every day. Since he joined the practice, Ken has been able to cut back and travel. Jeff was very fortunate to have his father in the practice when he had a serious accident (with a chainsaw and an oak tree) 4 years ago. “He was able to keep the practice going at a level that would feed both of us.”
His dad’s enjoyment in his work is what gave Jeff the bug to be a dentist. “He always says dentistry is not really working. If you want to really work, just go out and dig a ditch!”
Chris Brady, Father Gordon Brady
Chris has fond memories of his dad doing model surgery at home at night and weekends, and describes his dad’s work and family life as “being intertwined in such a positive way.” He realizes now that the extra hours he put in at home were so that “he could be around for activities and everyday moments with me and my sisters,” and he noted that Gordon was always able to attend baseball games or recitals. When choosing to be a dentist, Chris was encouraged that his dad was excited about his work each day and realized that most of Chris’s role models and people he looked up to were dentists. This made Chris “excited and comfortable with the decision to begin a career in dentistry, as well.”
The Bradys attended countless Hinman meetings and Chris has friends today that he has known since early childhood, when he would see them at Annual Meetings. Some of his most vivid memories of Hinman “are at Callaway Gardens where my parents were in charge of the children’s activities for many years.” Chris is excited about the opportunity for his daughters to enjoy the positive environment at the Annual Meetings and continuing the Hinman legacy in his family.
Leslie McGuinn, Father Bob McGuinn
Leslie said that, “growing up around my father as a dentist taught me that helping other people was important.” Her father’s office was less than a mile from their house, so she was always in and out of the office after school. Leslie first became interested in the field during high school when she would help out in the summer.
Leslie grew up attending Hinman meetings with her dad and saw how the profession of dentistry was continually changing and always had new challenges. Hinman allowed her to see how dentists are a close group and become part of your family and close friends. Becoming a dentist has been even more rewarding since it has allowed her to share the same experiences with her Dad.
