Patrick French becomesan IronmanMember Patrick French completed his first Ironman race on October 22 ofthis year at the Ironman Beach to Battleship race in Wilmington, NC. Itwas a grueling training schedule that he conquered with two of his friends(Team Frothwood), starting at the beginning of January, 2016. He put in800 miles of running, 3,200 miles of biking and 100 miles of swimming overthe training period and felt like the actual race was more of one last “victorylap” celebrating the team’s training, instead of “game day.”The race threw the team a curve ball, as the biking was cut short due toHurricane Matthew that flooded part of the biking course. The race itselfended up being a 2.4 mile swim, 56 mile bike (of which Dr. French believesmother nature made up for the shorter course with a strong head wind forthe first 39 miles) and 26.2 mile run. He finished the race in 8 hours, 28minutes. He has signed up for the Ironman Boulder, Colorado for nextJune, as he wants to complete his goal of the 140.6 mile circuit the Ironmantypically entails.

Member Blog: Don’t Miss G.O.L.D. 3.0!During November’s ingthe adoption of new bylawslanguage regarding marketing.Having established my practicewhen the Georgia Board ofDentistry limited signage lettersto a maximum size of 2” and the Yellow Pageswas the only form of marketing, I wanted toshare some thoughts 1. Attracting new patients by offering free goodsor discounted services does not build a practice,nor does it attract the quality of patients whowill stay. They will be gone as soon as the next“deal” comes along.2. Many Hinman members established theirpractices long before the days of practice websitesand social media. They did it by becomingintimately involved as volunteers in, and leadersof, their respective communities. Establishinglasting relationships through community servicebuilds one’s brand and one’s practice.3. Internal marketing is always less costly andmore effective than external marketing. Creating“raving fan patients” builds one’s practicethrough the most powerful form of advertising:word of mouth. Providing service excellence anda “remarkable experience” for each patient ofrecord is the key to practice growth!4. The excellent work by the bylaws committeecarefully examined the ADA Code of Ethics,Rules of the Georgia Board of Dentistry, andlanguage from the ACD to draft a bylaw thathelps maintain the high ethical standards ofthe Hinman Dental Society, while providingprofessional guidance to all its members.There is no question that today’s marketplacepresents formidable challenges to our profession.And while the bylaw regarding advertisingadopted during the meeting may not be the finalanswer, clearly it is a step in the right direction,as it is broader and less restrictive than before.I certainly don’t have all the answers for today’syoung practitioners, but there’s one thing I knowfor sure: the Hinman G.O.L.D. program in 2017will provide an invaluable – not to be missed –opportunity to enhance practice success. Myadvice? Be there! – Wayne Kerr, DDS, MAGDPASSED and PROPOSEDBYLAW CHANGESAt the November 7 membershipmeeting, Hinman members voted withoverwhelmingly to approve a new Bylawthat clarified vague language in the previousbylaw regarding practice promotion.Please refer to the November 2016Hinman Preview Review for more detail.Article I, Section 10: “Any member whodoes not adhere to the stipulations ofmembership will be placed on probationfor one meeting year. If the memberfails to adhere to the stipulations ofmembership during the probationaryyear, membership will be revoked.”At our January 19 membership meetingHinman members will vote on a fewbylaw changes that were recommendedbecause of this approved bylaw change.Please review the following proposedbylaw changes (changes are in bold):Article IX: Replace “Only informationaladvertising is appropriate in promotingone’s dental practice and it is inappropriateto use comparable and competitiveadvertising when promoting one’s dentalpractice.” with “A Hinman member shalluse only informational advertising inpromoting his or her dental practice andshall refrain from any use of comparableand competitive advertising.”and“The Executive Council may ationsmakingArticle I, Section 3, para 2: “ membership. The membership chairmanwill investigate the candidate prior topublishing their name in the HinmanPreview Review and prior to presentingthe application to the Executive Councilfor action. The candidate may ”November PREVIEW REVIEWreference to a member or a member’spractice and make suggestions and/or recommendations to members andprospective applicants.”Note: these bylaw changes do notrefer to internal marketing to existingpatients.
