Dr. Brent Larson of Minneapolis continues to serve as an officer as the MSO trustee to the American Association of Orthodontists board.

Dr. Mark Dake of West Plains, Mo., joined the MSO board as the new Missouri director when Mennemeyer moved up to serve as MSO officer. Also continuing to serve their respective component organization on the MSO board as directors are Dr. Spencer Pope of Flossmoor, Ill.; Dr. David Gehring of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Dr. Conny Athanasopoulos of Winnipeg, Manitoba; Dr. Kevin Denis of Maplewood, Minn.; Dr. Kimberley Stafford of Omaha, Neb.; Dr. Alison Fallgatter of Jamestown, N.D.; Dr. Ryan VanLaecken of Watertown, S.D.; and Dr. Scott Arbit of Mequon, Wis.

Dr. John R. Crawford of Kenosha, Wis., successfully completed his term as the 2013 – 2014 president and will continue to serve on the MSO board as immediate past president.

MSO’s 2014 Earl E. Shepard Distinguished Service Award was presented at the MSO Annual Member Business Meeting Sept. 12 to Dr. Arnold J. Hill of St. Paul, Minn. He is a past president of the MSO and served as the graduate education orthodontic director at Mayo for a number of years. This award was created in honor of Dr. Earl E. Shepard to recognize orthodontists for outstanding service to orthodontics and their community.

The MSO hosted the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists (GLAO) for a combined 2014 Annual Session Sept. 12-13 at the Hilton Chicago in downtown Chicago. MSO represents more than 1,400 members in Illinois, Iowa, Manitoba, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The MSO, as a constituent organization of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), supports the mission of the AAO by providing resources, communication and leadership, while serving as a voice for its component societies and individual members.

The 2015 Midwestern Society of Orthodontists Annual Session, to be held Oct. 9-10 in Rochester, Minn., will feature lectures by Mayo Clinic consultants and University of Minnesota specialists.
