HoD Business Meeting

The HoD Business Meeting is held every two years, immediately before the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene and is one part of three IFDH elements:

A new board is elected. Awards are presented. New committees meet and plan for the next term. Guest speakers on timely topics.
