President's Message

Transition
Dr. Kamrin Olfert
PCSO President 2017-2018

Stephen Hawking says "Intelligence is the ability
to adapt to change".
As I write my second article for the PCSO Bulletin,
I find PCSO in a state of transition - which is
good! Ms. Callie Castro has entered her second
year as the executive director of PCSO and, along
with the executive committee, has begun to
place her fingerprint on our association. Ms.
Castro's previous employment was in a medical
association. Many parallels exist between medical associations and the Pacific Coast Society of
Orthodontists. Medical field concerns often predate the issues in dentistry and that has been
the case in our association. Rising student debt,
influence of corporations, membership challenges, and increased competition are all issues
that medical associations have faced years ago.
Ms. Castro has brought a new perspective and
the motivation to tackle these challenges.
One significant change is the ability of the PCSO
Board to vote on resolutions electronically. This
is a critical step that will allow our leaders to be
proactive on any pressing issue facing the orthodontic community. We have already used the voting three times since November 2017 and it was
a resounding success. Not only does this change
allow us to react more proactively to concerns
facing PCSO, but it also has given us the ability to
continually adapt throughout the year.
A Busy Board
Speaking of resolutions, on March 10th, the board
had 25 resolutions to vote on. 25! I am so honored
to be involved with such an engaged and active
board. Committees were very energetic, efficient,
and busy! I want to give special thanks to each
and every board member for sitting on one or
multiple committees, and in doing so, serving the
members of our association. As our Critical Issues
Task Forces begin to wrap up their work, we have
begun a significant transition as the Ad Interim
meeting marked the start of our long overdue
strategic planning process.

The strategic plan is a critical document that will
serve as a guiding light over the next five to ten
years. In order to be successful, every association
needs to have specific goals in mind, and we are
no exception. PCSO has a deep and rich history of
successfully raising the bar each and every year. It
is our duty, as the current leaders, to continue to
elevate our association to higher heights.
PCSO has engaged Bostrom and Associates to
guide us through our strategic plan. As an outside facilitator with experience serving a wide
range of associations, Bostrom brought in leaders
from throughout PCSO to participate in a planning session on March 9th. It was exciting to
witness representatives from every state and
province within PCSO come forward with ideas to
advance our association. Creating a new strategic
plan will be one large area of focus in the coming
months; a completed document will be ready by
our Annual Session in Monterey in October.
As the AAO annual meeting approaches in
Washington, D.C., the PCSO delegation is busy
preparing for the meeting of the AAO House of
Delegates (HOD). I want to give a special welcome to Jahnavi Rao, Kelly Giannetti, and Trista
Felty as new members of the delegation. Our
delegation chair, Ron Wolk, has us all working
diligently to bring solid, vetted resolutions before
the HOD. PCSO will continue to lead and advocate for our membership at the AAO level.
As we move forward in the coming months, I
promise I will continue to be dedicated to PCSO
and leave things better than I found them. It is
my honor to serve in an association with a rich
history of incredible leadership. I want to thank
all those who have served previously for developing an association that has been so progressive
and enduring. 
