Oral Health America to Honor Milly Goldstein at 27th Annual Gala & Benefit
CHICAGO, January 18 – Oral Health America (OHA) announces that Milly Goldstein will be recognized with the Tribute Award at its 27th Annual Gala & Benefit on February 22, 2017 at Navy Pier in Chicago. Ms. Goldstein served as President of the Harry J. Bosworth Company and is the first female recipient of OHA’s Tribute Award.
Each year, OHA honors an individual whose career significantly impacts oral health on a regional or national level; has been innovative, creative and pioneering; demonstrated positive, measurable change over a sustained period; and achieved success in overcoming barriers to oral health access, education and advocacy.
“Ms. Goldstein more than exemplifies each of these criteria for this award in the most profound ways imaginable,” said Beth Truett, President & CEO for Oral Health America. “Her loyalty to Oral Health America’s mission and work as a Board member and her commitment to the dental industry are exemplified in everything she has accomplished. Ms. Goldstein changed the landscape of the industry as the first female president of a dental company. She was also dedicated to the field as chair of many organizations, including having the honor of serving as the first female chair of the American Dental Trade Association (ADTA). We are grateful for all of the work Ms. Goldstein, along with her husband Herbert Pozen, have done for the industry.”
The Tribute Award is presented during the dinner at OHA’s annual Gala which is recognized as the premier charity event kicking off the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. It will feature a cocktail reception, dinner and dancing, as well as a silent auction.
Tickets for OHA’s Gala are currently on sale. All proceeds underwrite OHA’s mission to connect communities with resources to improve access to care, increase health literacy and raise awareness about the importance of oral health’s impact on overall health. OHA’s programs serving children and older adults are active in 47 states and one U.S. territory as a result of support received from this annual event. Please join Oral Health America for this year’s Gala theme, Broadway: Oral Health Takes Center Stage, and commit to making a difference in the oral health of all Americans, especially those most vulnerable.
