I have been a member of the Roanoke Dental Society and the VDA for 37 years and have found that the same speakers that we have in the Roanoke Dental Society are the speakers we hear at regional and state meetings.  I have been the program director and president of the Piedmont Dental Society and I drew from the same speaker pool to get the accreditated programs for the Piedmont society that speak for the Roanoke Society.  I think it makes sense to approve the Roanoke Society to give approved CE. Thank you. David E. Black, DDS
