I have been selected to be on the Massachusetts Dental Society Guest Board. The MDS created the Guest Board member program in 2006 to broaden the composition of the board. Naturally, I am very excited, since it provides me an opportunity to meet colleagues who are involved with organized dentistry on the national, state and local boards as well as discover how MDS works and what it is doing for the profession.

My selection news was covered in the Worcester Telegram.

The local media has covered my acceptance into the Massachusetts Dental Society Leadership Institute quite extensively. 

• The local Hopkinton newspaper has an article titled, "Local Worcester Dentist Accepted into Training Program". It goes on to report that the two-year program provides Dr. Meena Yegneswaran the tools and training to become civic leaders on local, state or national levels. When the training is complete, participants take part in a year long ad hoc committee focused on issues affecting dentistry.  

• The Worcester Telegram and Gazette has a similar article on my acceptance into the Leadership Institute.
