Hoexter, Editor in Chief, Dental Tribune n The International Academy for Dental Facial Esthetics [IADFE] held its annual meeting in New York City in November 2019, in conjunction with the Greater New York Dental Meeting, at the prestigious Harmonie Club. Recipients from all over the globe were in attendance to receive their well-earned fellowships. The presenter was Dr. Chad Gehani, president of the ADA. We were very honored that, in spite of the tremendous demands on his time as president of the ADA, as well as all of the meetings he had to attend, he kept his commitment to the IADFE. He enraptured our largely interna- tional audience, winning them over as he related how his chosen field of dentistry, and his pursuit of love and decency, helped him achieve his dreams and goals. Leaving India to acquire the knowledge and techniques in his chosen field of dentistry, Gehani told the audience how that also helped him to pursue and win over the love of his life. He first had to attend dental school in America, and from there, it took years before he felt he would be able to support her sufficiently. His wife is the beautiful Dr. Rekha Gehani. Besides her glowing smile, she is also a successful orthodontist, practicing in New York. At the IADFE meeting, Gohani emphasized that making the effort allows the goal to be achieved. The annual fellowship presenta- tion followed Gohani’s speech, with recipients from countries around the world, including Australia, Romania, Italy, Germany, New Zealand, France, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, India and Turkey, celebrating the event. 5 From left, Dr. George Freedman, Dr. Rekha Gehani, ADA President Dr. Chad Gehani, Dean Ed Lynch and Dr. David L.
