Dear Members,

Happy New Year Everyone!

As we reflect on the past year, I am filled with gratitude for the dedication and hard work each of you has contributed to our community. The Oregon Association of Dental Laboratories has always stood as a pillar of excellence in our industry, and together, we have continued to elevate our standards and practices.

This year, our focus has been on three essential pillars: efficiency, productivity, and teamwork. In a rapidly changing landscape, it is crucial that we adapt and streamline our processes to maximize our output without compromising quality. I am proud to say that many of our laboratories have embraced new technologies and innovative practices, which have significantly improved their workflows. By sharing these advancements through our workshops and networking events, we have collectively enhanced our capabilities.

Productivity is not just about quantity; it is also about the quality of our work. As we strive to deliver outstanding results for our clients, let us remember that our commitment to excellence is what sets us apart. By leveraging best practices and continuous education, we can ensure that every case we handle meets the highest standards.

However, none of this would be possible without the spirit of teamwork that runs through our association. Collaboration among our members has been instrumental in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities. I encourage each of you to continue fostering these relationships, sharing insights, and supporting one another. Together, we can build a stronger future for our industry.

As we look ahead, let us keep our focus on these core values. I am excited about the possibilities that lie before us and confident that, united, we will achieve remarkable things in the coming year.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the Oregon Association of Dental Laboratories. Let’s continue to strive for excellence, embracing efficiency, enhancing productivity, and working together as a cohesive team.

Warm regards,

Eric Kraus

President, Oregon Association of Dental Laboratories
