Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists Bulletin Summer 2022 - 28

Portrait of a Professional
We recognize that it's important to have that diversity
in age, experience, and gender. This new group that
just started in May includes Dr. Lauren Pass and Dr.
Anil Idicula. We are starting to increase the speed at
which we recognize a more diverse demographic.
We are not there yet, but we are getting there. That's
why one of the core values in our Strategic Plan has
changed from 2018-2022, where we stated " we are inclusive, "
to the 2023 statement, where that same core
value states, " We embrace diversity and inclusion. " Our
goals and objectives for this new year are, " We want
to reimagine AAO's governance structure to improve
diversity, representation, and agility. " For me, personally,
that is the hallmark for where we need to be and
where we are going as an organization.
This year, we went to the Graduate Orthodontic Residents
Program meeting, where we met with residents
from all over the country. We were able to get together
in person this year after two years of the pandemic,
and what was striking to me was the diversity in terms
of gender and ethnicity. It's a new and wonderful
world for our orthodontic community.
BL: Dr. Nagel, you've had an amazing career. What
would you recommend for a young orthodontist
coming up who is interested in becoming influential
in the field?
NN: I would say first: listen. Pay attention to what's going
on. I never personally thought in my dreams that I
would become president of the AAO. I don't think one
can go on a path and say, " yes, that's what I want to
do " -at least it wasn't for me. I became more involved
in a variety of activities, and I was interested in making
a difference at every level where I was involved. I
thought, " If I belonged to an organization, what could
I do to make it better than when I joined? " That has
guided my work in the many organizations I've been
involved with, whether it was the military, the community
colleges where we started a hygiene school, or
the Rotary, where we wanted to grow by 25%. I think
I have set my sights on small goals that I have wanted
to achieve, and I would suggest that, for anyone, work
as best as you can to get to that level, then you will be
fulfilled, no matter what level you are at.
BL: Why should a young orthodontist become part of
the AAO?
NN: Whether you're old or young, whether you're experienced
or are just opening your practice, the AAO is
your voice. As individuals, we have very little impact on
the state legislature, on the state boards, or even on
the community, but as an organization, we can make
big changes.
For instance, while we were in Washington, DC, we
had been pushing a bill in the House called the
ELSA (Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act), which focuses
on people who have craniofacial issues. We have
been working on it for a few years, and the House
of Representatives finally passed it while we were
in Washington. That was a big win for us, as was the
medical device tax, which we, along with a number
of others, were involved with and that was finally
repealed by Congress. It takes an organization to
get these things done. One individual can't do
these things. But to use an old term, " it takes a village "
to get things done, and the AAO can provide
that voice for you at any point in your career. We
are the oldest dental specialty, and we have had
excellent leadership over the years to help provide
direction.
BL: Thanks so much for you time, Dr. Nagel. In conclusion,
please tell us: What are your three big priorities
for your presidency?
NN: Number one, I want to get the Strategic Plan activated.
The plan is from 2023-2027, and it's important
to have that activated and running. The second thing
I would like to do is to fully integrate the new at-large
trustees. We can see and define our roles within
that board. The third is to communicate within the
constituents, so that we can govern more effectively
and efficiently up and down the chain. Finally, we
really want to focus on governance issues including
advocacy. We just finished our advocacy conference,
and we are spending a lot of time at the state level
with their issues on licensing, specialty licensing, as
well as the direct-to-consumer model that comes up
in each state.
