JoAn is not only a strong believer in giving back to the civic, school, church and professional organizations that have shaped her life and career, she relishes her volunteer activities in her community. Besides mentoring many young women in dentistry and business, she donates 10% of whatever she earns in speaking fees through pro bono presentations for organizations such as Youth Leadership Programs and Career Fairs. She serves on a single campus site-based committee for Caldwell Independent School District and serves as President of the PTO for the Caldwell Middle School. Her volunteer activities extend beyond her own county. She participates in public education seminars for dental and oral health in communities with a 60 miles radius of her hometown. JoAn thoroughly enjoys spending time with family and friends and being a true supportive mom to her teenage son and all his extracurricular activities. The mother of one son, JoAn is also a bonus mom to three girls. She has three son-in-laws and three beautiful grandsons. “I have had the pleasure of sharing the podium with JoAn on several occasions. Her professionalism and open friendly style make her an excellent teacher and facilitator. She knows dentistry inside out and is willing to share her knowledge for the benefit of our most noble profession. It seems that everyone around her blossoms and grows.”
