Friday, October 24, 2025
8:00AM - 9:30AM
Join us for the annual Advocacy Breakfast Program, hosted by the Alliance and sponsored by ADPAC. This year, breakfast will feature perspectives shared by Congressman Don Bacon and Dr. Darleen Oleski, the incoming chair of ADPAC.
A retired Air Force Brigadier General, Congressman Bacon is completing his fifth and final term representing Nebraska's District 2. Congressman Bacon will share highlights of his military career, his decision to run for Congress and highlights of his time in office, the importance of PAC support, how citizens can best advocate with their Congressional representatives, and how military veterans deserve our Country's best efforts in terms of providing quality health care, including oral health and mental health care services.
Dr. Darleen Oleski, incoming Chair of ADPAC, will present an update on the legislative issues being monitored and addressed by ADA Lobbyists, as well as how ADA member dentists and spouses can help to protect the profession and practice of dentistry through grassroots advocacy efforts.
Seating is limited, so register today. The breakfast is complimentary for ADPAC members and $70.00 for non-members.
