Jackie has been an International Councilor for Section VIII since 2017.
During her 20 years on the Section VIII Board, Jackie has always been actively engaged in Section business and has dedicated an extraordinary amount of time to the roles in which she has served. As Registrar, Jackie brought her considerable administrative experience to the role and streamlined administrative systems that have served the Section well over the years. She has initiated and compiled detailed statistics on membership, nominations and donations and has authored numerous guidelines, policies and procedures. Jackie has served on many Section sub-committees reviewing the Section’s processes and Bylaws. In recent years, Jackie prepared documents for a Board restructure, succession and transition plans. Jackie has played a pivotal role in advancing budgeting, auditing and financial reporting for the Section and continues to work closely with the Section VIII President Elect on financial matters for the Section. Behind the scenes, she contributes significantly to the Section’s biannual newsletters.
In preparation for Section VIII 50th anniversary celebrations in 2014, Jackie worked closely with the Section’s Administrative Officer pouring over the Section’s archive of historical documents and photos, compiling and recording the Section’s historical information and preparing articles and promotional materials for the 50th anniversary. The success of the 50th anniversary Council meeting and celebrations in Sydney were due in no small part to Jackie’s efforts.
Outside of ICD, Jackie enjoyed a 19-year career in the public health service in New South Wales at the Westmead Hospital Dental Clinical School starting as a dental officer in 1981 and progressing to the position of Deputy Director before leaving the public service in 2000. In early 2000 Jackie became the Colgate-Palmolive Professional Relations Manager for Australia/New Zealand. She served in that capacity until 2006 when she joined the Australian Health Management Group (ahm) as Senior Dentist for their Parramatta clinic. When Medibank took over ahm in 2012, Jackie was appointed as Director of Clinical Services and served in that position until 2014 when she retired.
Jackie joins Clive Ross CNZM as one of two current Masters for Section VIII. Please join the Board in congratulating Jackie on this well-deserved recognition by the College.

NZDA Young Dentist Action Group 2020 Speaker Development Day
The NZDA 2020 Young Dentist Action Group (YDAG) Speaker Development Day took place on Saturday, February 20th in Auckland. 13 young dentists from around New Zealand attended the day which was run by Belinda Bryant from Influence Coaching. The day was a huge success, during which participants learned new skills and gained confidence through practising and presenting amongst their peers.

YDAG is comprised of enthusiastic young NZDA members who will one day be leaders within the dental profession in New Zealand. The annual Speaker Development Day is an important part of their professional development. At the end of the day, they leave with the skills and confidence to present to a wider range of audiences. The NZDA hopes these young leaders will become involved at local branch level within the NZDA, within the community, amongst their colleagues and potentially at NZDA Board level.
The YDAG conducted its annual planning session the afternoon prior to the Speaker Development Day. This year the group will focus on:

YDAG thanks ICD for its ongoing support of their annual Speaker Development Day.
Awarding of the 2020 ICD Young Dentists Volunteer Grant
|
The ICD Young Dentists Volunteer grant was launched in 2019. The grant is awarded annually to a dentist in the Australasian region with less than 10 years’ experience in clinical practice since graduation from dental school. The grant is a collaborative initiative with the New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA) and the Australian Dental Association (ADA). We are appreciative to the NZDA and the ADA for promoting the ICD YDV grants to young dentists throughout New Zealand and Australia.

After due consideration of the outstanding applications received for the 2020 ICD Young Dentists Volunteer grant, the Board has awarded the 2020 grant to Dr Haneen Alayan of New Zealand.
|
|
Haneen is a 2016 graduate of the University of Otago. Her three years of professional life since graduating from dental school include private practice, working in a community mobile clinic and tutoring at the University of Otago Dental School. Although Haneen doesn’t yet have experience with volunteer dental programs abroad, she has had plenty of experience with volunteer dentistry within New Zealand. Her career started in a mobile charity clinic providing dental care to low income patients in Hamilton. She also participated in the NZDA free dental days program. In 2018, Haneen was awarded two grants to provide free comprehensive dental care to low income patients in the Southland region. In 2019, she was awarded the Wrigley’s NZDA Principles in Action Grant which allowed her, alongside dental student Jamie Marra, to launch the ‘Sunday Clinic’ in Dunedin. The ICD Young Dentists Volunteer grant offers Haneen her first experience volunteering outside New Zealand. Haneen will participate in the “Smiles for the Pacific” program led by Dr Jonathan Cole.
Again this year, the Board was impressed with the considerable volunteer experience of the applicants for the ICD YDV grant. These impressive young dentists are the future leaders of our profession and their volunteer commitments so early in their careers bode well for the future of our profession. The Board also applauds the Dental Schools, the NZDA and the ADA for creating volunteer opportunities for dental students and young dental graduates. We look forward to hearing about Haneen’s experiences with the Smiles for the Pacific program in due course in a future Section VIII newsletter.
