Congratulations to
Dean Gremillion
Dean
Gremillion Inducted as
Hinman Dental Society
Honorary Member and
Apppointed to ADEA
Council of Deans
At the Thomas P. Hinman
Dental Meeting this
spring, Henry A.
Gremillion, DDS, MAGD, was
named an honorary member
of the Hinman Dental
Society. Honorary
membership is bestowed
upon a dentist who has
enhanced the dental
profession and
demonstrated a life of
honor. To be considered
for this special status,
an individual's nomination
must be signed by five
active members and
approved by two-thirds of
the organization's
executive council;
two-thirds of the general
membership who are present
and voting must then
approve it. Only 13
dentists hold the title of
honorary member today.
When the Hinman Society
held its first meeting in
1912, it was considered to
be the first clinic
strictly for
serious-minded educational
purposes. Today the Hinman
Dental Society is
comprised of 800 dentist
members, primarily located
in metropolitan Atlanta,
Georgia. The Hinman Dental
Meeting is an annual
tradition of the Society,
providing dental
professionals with
outstanding educational
and professional
development opportunities.
Special thanks to 1994
LSUSD graduate Dr. Troy
Schulman who has organized
an alumni reception at the
Hinman Dental Meeting
since 2014. The reception
gives alumni from the area
an opportunity to meet
with Dean Gremillion and
learn the latest news of
the school. The 2018
meeting is scheduled for
March 22-24 at the Georgia
World Congress Center in
Atlanta; the alumni
reception will be held on
Friday, March 23. The
LSUSD administration
appreciates Dr. Schulman's
continued support.
At the closing session of
the American Dental
Association House of
Delegates in March, Dean
Gremillion began his term
as board director of the
ADEA Council of Deans. As
director, he will serve as
a liaison between the ADEA
Board of Directors and the
Council of Deans. The ADEA
Council of Deans consists
of the dean of each U.S.
dental school; the chief
dental administrative
officer of each affiliate
(non-dental school) member
institution conducting
non-hospital-based
advanced dental education
programs; the chief dental
officer of the U.S. Air
Force, Army, Navy, Public
Health Service, and
Veterans Administration;
and the president of the
Association of Canadian
Faculties of Dentistry.
