Words can hardly express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Hehr for his exemplary leadership as IDA President. Even though you might not have seen him in person as often as you would in a typical year, Dr. Hehr worked tirelessly throughout his presidency to ensure the needs of Iowa’s dentists and their patients were met, especially during the pandemic.
Throughout his past several years in IDA leadership, Dr. Hehr made himself available on a moment’s notice, no matter what the issue was. Dr. Hehr led us through countless membership townhalls, and represented Iowa’s dentists extremely well at numerous meetings with the Iowa Dental Board, IDA Board of Trustees, Return to Work Task Force, IDA Legislative Committee, and legislators.
We could always count on Dr. Hehr to take all points of view into consideration and then provide the board thoughtful leadership and direction. His calm demeaner and leadership style helped to keep our association on track during some very tumultuous times and the IDA will forever be grateful for everything he’s done for our association. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Hehr for a job well done!
