Each year we become a stronger, more efficient and
more focused organization, and my goal is to continue
on that path.” —B. W., PCSO Bulletin, Winter 2012
T
he quote above was from my first President’s Message,
which focused on the value of incremental change in
an organization. Now I approach my last president’s
message with an element of disbelief that the year has gone by
so quickly, but also great anticipation that the PCSO continues
a path of incremental change that assures a bright future of
service for our members.
The PCSO benefits from a significant number of members
who dedicate time, expertise, and incredible passion for
active participation in our committees, councils, and task
forces. The basic operations of the PCSO involve the work
of at least 10 standing committees and at any given time
there are additional ad hoc committees and task forces that
are focused on analysis and solutions for specific issues of
major importance. As you know, we interface regularly with
the AAO and our state component organizations. Each of the
nine AAO councils has a representative from the PCSO and
there are a number of members involved on other committees
and task forces at the AAO level. We also have directors and
representatives on the AAO/PAC, ABO and AAOF. I wish I had
the space to name each of the PCSO representatives who bring
such value to these positions.
Reflecting back on my presidential year there are several
notable highlights and I would be remiss if I didn’t provide a
short summary for the membership. First, at the meeting in
Monterey, after a lengthy process, the board selected Dr. Norm
Nagle as our new trustee to the AAO Board of Trustees and
Norm officially moved into this position at the AAO meeting in
May of this year. We look forward to his strong representation
and sage guidance. Our past trustee, Dr. Robert Varner,
has moved up to become an officer of the AAO and will be
president in 2015. Norm’s selection as trustee left his position
as delegation chair open and the PCSO was indeed fortunate
to have that position taken by Dr. Ron Wolk who is a past
president and our current representative to the AAO Council
on Membership. Dr. Wolk skillfully led the delegation at the
May AAO House of Delegates meeting. The PCSO continues to

have an extremely effective delegation and this reflects well
on its leadership and our dedicated delegates. Ron also agreed
to chair our Bylaws Committee. During the year, after careful
searches, the board selected representatives for three AAO
Councils: Dr. Maria Orellana for the Council on Orthodontic
Health Care, Dr. Blair Struble for the Council on New and
Younger Members, and Dr. David Covell for the Council on
Scientific Affairs.
Over the year there have been some specific activities that
should be highlighted. The PCSO has always been conscious
of and responsive to the needs of our members. In 2010, we
completed a Member Needs Assessment, which provided rich
data that has helped to shape our programs and has also been
shared with other constituent organizations, constituents and
the AAO. Our board of directors has charged us with repeating
this survey every three years and Past President Rob Merrill is
leading the 2013 Member Needs Survey Team. Analysis of the
information gathered continues, but you can review some of
the findings in this issue of the Bulletin (see PCSO Business
section).
In the interest of being certain that our mission continues to
be germane in light of current membership and environmental
realities, President-Elect Ron Jawor chaired the PCSO Mission
Review Task Force, which found that our mission continues
to be appropriate. Your leadership is committed to reviewing
this on a periodic basis. The Communications Review Task
Force presented its final report at the Ad Interim Board
Meeting in March. This was an extensive and intensive review
of all aspects of our communications, led by Past President
Lili Horton. The board reviewed and passed a number of
motions which will result in continuing evolution of our
communications to have content and media which is in synch
with our members.
In fact, the electronic format of the Bulletin you are currently
reading is one result of the work of the CRTF in conjunction
with the Communications Committee.
