ODHA Future Leader Award

The ODHA Future Leader Award recognizes the next generation of leaders in the dental hygiene profession. This award may be presented each year to one graduating student from each of the accredited dental hygiene programs in Oregon.  

Award recipients will be nominated by their faculty based on their potential to pursue leadership roles in our professional association.
