PDA 150TH ANNIVERSARY Dr. Bill Glecos PDA President 2000-2001 One of the most memorable experiences is finishing up the Waste Management Guidelines, and getting the government and the Department of Environmental Protection to work with us and help us turned out to be just a spectacular advantage for all our members. And we received an award for it. Dr. Steve Radack, PDA President 2014-2015 During my presidency I enjoyed travelling around the state, meeting members and also seeing the three dental schools at the time and meeting the students and future colleagues. One of the highlights for me was starting the year at the White Coat Ceremony at Pitt, which is my alma mater, with the people that are just coming in, the brand new first years, and I was able to finish up with commence- ment at Pitt for the fourth years as they walked out the door, so it was kind of a cool circle to complete just being president.
