Each year, the New York State Dental Association Hallmarks of Excellence Award recognizes outstanding local district programs in the following areas:

Membership Enhancement
Outreach programs coordinated by component districts that recruit or help retain existing members.
Education
Courses and publications that enhance membership and encourage an exchange of information among members.
Community Service
Programs that put a "public face" on dentistry by providing education and/or services at schools, health fairs, libraries, and other community locations.

The award recipient will be honored at the NYSDA House of Delegates meeting in Saratoga Springs, NY in June 2023. The winner will be presented a certificate from a NYSDA trustee and will receive $500.

2022 Award Recipient:

Dr. Guy Minoli

On June 11, 2022 the NYSDA Membership & Communication Council, presented Dr. Guy Minoli with the 2022 Hallmarks of Excellence for his Mentoring Lecture Program that is offered to all New York Metropolitan dental residents and is hosted by the New York County Dental Association. The ACD award-winning program promotes a culture of leadership, professionalism and ethics through mentoring.

In his application, Dr. Minoli shared “Participating residents share the lecture with the mentor in an academic setting giving the residents further skills and an appreciation of giving back to their profession. Most mentors maintain and develop a relationship with their mentees that solidifies their involvement in organized dentistry.”
