Dr.
Stanley LaCroix named CADS Dentist of the Year
More than five years ago, Stan LaCroix was asked to
serve on a committee for the Capital Area Dental Society and became hooked on
the satisfaction that comes with promoting the profession through organized
dentistry.
First, Stan served as Assistant Editor and then was
elected as Treasurer, Secretary, President-Elect, and President. During this
time he has worked tirelessly initiating programs such as the DOC program. He
has served as an Alternate Delegate or Delegate to the Texas Dental Association
each year since 2003. He has been awarded four Presidential Service Awards from
past CADS Presidents.
Stan was our first webmaster and was instrumental in
the development of the site. He created a New Member packet that is given to
all new CADS members outlining the organization, its benefits, and its
opportunities.
Other areas of service to the community include
serving two years as Dentistry Merit Badge Counselor (2008 & 2009) for the
Boy Scouts of America. He has participated in numerous Texas Mission of Mercy
and Smiles on Wheels, in-state dental missions with the Texas Dental
Association Smiles Foundation. He is a Donated Dental Services Volunteer
Dentist and has seen patients from this program regularly since 2003. Stan
spent many hours of service with the Theo Project, the Lanier Project, and
Swinging for Smiles Golf Tournaments associated with our long time
collaborative partner, St. David
