Message from the MASO President
Dr. Robert Seebold
Welcome to the website for the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists(MASO). We are a constituent of the American Association of Orthodontists. MASO represents the 1100 member orthodontists from the States of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Eastern Pennsylvania, Washington D. C., as well as, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The website contains information on MASO leadership, news, and information on upcoming meetings.
We will have our Spring CE event in Philadelphia, March 14, featuring Drs. Ngan and Tremont from the West Virginia University Department of Orthodontics. Their presentation is Clinical Management and Follow-up of Patients Treated with Facemask and Herbst Appliances. They will report on their long-term data and discuss ways to optimize our treatment strategies for Class II and Class III patients. Online registration will be forthcoming.
The 2008 MASO annual meeting will be held at the Gran Melia Resort in Puerto Rico, October 10-13. There will be some very stimulating scientific sessions for both orthodontists and staff not to mention a ton of Caribbean fun. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for what promises to be a great educational and fun filled weekend. Details on the meeting will be on the site soon.
It has been a great privilege for me to have served our organization. The experience has helped me grow both professionally and personally. I am glad I had the opportunity to give something back to our great profession and am thankful for all the wonderful people I have met along the way.
MASO is run by volunteers and is member-driven. We are always looking for people to help in our effort. We have leadership opportunities at various levels of commitment. I would encourage anyone interested in volunteering to contact me at rseebold@ptd.net or the MASO office at 866-748-MASO or MASO@assnoffices.com for more information.
