Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | December 2012 A3CLINICALMEETINGS “Where you are sitting right now was un- der water,” Les Seldin, DDS, said to Greater New York Dental Meeting attendees at the Hurricane Sandy relief symposium, held Nov. 27 on the first level of the Jacob K. Ja- vits Convention Center. Noting that all of the carpet had been replaced and the lower portion of the walls repainted. Seldin, a former GNYDM chairman who volunteered to moderate the symposium, told the group that if the storm had arrived a week later, the massive dental meeting likely would not be taking place. The symposium gave dentists affected by the storm the opportunity to question experts on insurance, legal matters, finan- cial issues, SBA loans and FEMA programs. Meeting organizers, exhibitors and presenters scrambled to repair or replace damaged property prior to opening day, makingthestorm'simpactallbutinvisible. The primary clue the storm even hap- pened: a strong outpouring of support throughout the meeting for dental prac- tices affected by the storm.
