Since 2017, a group of female dentists in the Madison-area have been meeting quarterly to share best practices and help one another develop coaching and leadership skills. D&S Dental Laboratory staff help organize and facilitate the discussion group, working closely with its Advisory Board of Directors: Dr. Liberty Boucher (University Hills Dental), Dr. Leah Felkner (Forward Dental West), Dr. Kelsey Patton (Verona Family Dental), Dr. Kendra Schaefer (Prosthodontics of Madison) and Dr. Jody Schilling (Schilling Periodontics & Implant Dentistry).

Past discussion topics have included hiring best practices, establishing a strong practice culture and working with millennials.

Quarterly meetings are typically held at a local restaurant in a private room on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings (it rotates). Social time with cocktails and appetizers runs from 6-6:30 pm and then the discussion is held from 6:30-8:00 pm on the topic chosen by the group ahead of time. Joleen from D&S Dental Laboratory serves as the discussion facilitator. Cost is $20.

If you would like to be added to our email invitation list, please contact Joleen at [email protected]. Or feel free to call Joleen at 608-849-5343 if you’d like more information.

Our next meeting will likely be held in September or October 2021.
