“When one door closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed
door that we do not see the one which has
been opened for us.”- Helen Keller

and its dental school.• Strong relationships with administrators
allow ASDA leaders to influence their education and address the issues facing dental students.
• Vendor policies, permission to attend off-campus events and hosting/sponsoring events.
• Strategies for change.

Don’t be your own worst enemy
• “What can I do?”
• Take a step back and think.
• Consider why things are the way they are.
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Look for your opportunity
• Find your niche and fill it with intensity.• “No job too small” attitude
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Take the initiative • How important is this to your
chapter?• Prepared to go it alone?
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet

Understand What the Administration Does for You
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Attitude is everything• ASDA who?• Admin is not the enemy• No one owes you anything• Selflessness goes a long way
• “Me” and “I” are red flags• Be prepared to hand it over
• Save your “Likes” for facebook• It’s time to be put on your big boy pants and put
away the skinny jeans• Talk like a teenager and expect to be treated like
one
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Continuity of Leadership, Information & Best Practices…
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
That sounds great, but…
• Small chapter?• No active role?
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
• Develop a strategy to make change– IDENTIFY– ADAPT– OVERCOME
How we did it…
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
IDENTIFY…• Past areas of conflict/disconnect• What administration responds to• Current issues with no solutions • Who can make things happen
• This isn’t a root canal; work from the bottom up…
• The ideal venue to address the issue(s)
Identify…
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Adapt…• By formulating a plan– Develop methods to fill a niche• Changes to be made• Protocols for implementing changes• Plan for sustainability
– Cover your bases, revaluate, and plan ahead• Don’t check your boat for holes AFTER it’s in
the water…
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Overcome…• Your school is not run by one person
alone• Peer pressure is alive and well
• Use past mistakes/shortcomings to your advantage
• Negotiate/compromise• Follow through• Plan for the future
#ASDAnet
@ASDAnet
Working Together toward Common Goals…• Timing is everything• Change takes time
• A change next year is still a change!
• Pass on the hope not the hopelessness
