Here’s a special message from Dr. Monica Wu :

‘As we step into 2026, I am honored to serve as your President alongside our dedicated Board of Directors. This year, our Society will be guided by four pillars: Tradition, Transformation, Togetherness, and Transparency. These values remind us that we are stronger together, and that by honoring the foundations of our profession while embracing new opportunities, we can grow both individually and collectively. Dentistry is not just a career — it’s a community, and the connections we make and nurture are at the heart of everything we do.

The magic of our dental community is in each of you who show up, support one another, and engage in the work of our Society. By leaning into our shared purpose, embracing leadership as service, and fostering meaningful connections, we can shape the future of dentistry in Santa Clara County — creating opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration that extend far beyond our practices. I am excited for what we will achieve together in 2026 and can’t wait to see you at upcoming events.’

Thank you to our members whose engagement continues to strengthen our Society. We look forward to a year ahead filled with learning, advocacy, and meaningful social connections.
