Indianapolis, IN., NOVEMBER 2009 eDentist would like to announce the achievement of Kay Valentine, who was recently named as the recipient of the 5th annual AADOM Office Manager of the Year Award.
Behind every successful practice is an office manager who displays innovative thinking, business acumen and leadership qualities within their practice and community. Each year, the AADOM recognizes these exceptional individuals and highlights their accomplishments at their annual conference. This year, the award recipient is Kay ValentineÑa prime example of the impact an office manager can have on a practice, its team and its patients.
"There is something special in our office called the 'Kay Factor,'" wrote Dr. Gary Llewellyn as he nominated Valentine. "About three years ago, my practice was in deep trouble. I was managing my practice to fail. Kay brought to my practice 22 years of experience and a vision: to meet, exceed, delight and amaze every patient, every time. Kay motivated my team and streamlined my processes, allowing me to exceed my production goals."
That should be enough, but Kay has done more. "Once the practice was back on its feet, she focused on 'paying it forward,' leading our entire team on two mission trips to Mexico, treating patients at a local assisted living center and starting the Office Managers Study Club of Indiana," says Dr. Llewellyn. "Kay's commitment to excellence is contagious and ultimately creates extraordinary experiences for our patients."
As the winner of the 2009 AADOM Office Manager of the Year award, Kay Valentine will receive free registration to the Annual Dental Office Managers Conference and will be featured on the front cover of The Observer, AADOM's publication for dental office managers. In addition, she will receive a check for $1,000, courtesy of CareCredit, the award sponsor. CareCredit has been integrally involved with the AADOM since its inception and is a Founding Partner. "The competition for this prestigious award grows more intense every year," says Heather Colicchio, AADOM President. "Kay has earned my deepest respect, as well as that of all of the members of AADOM. She is a shining example of what every office manager should aspire to be."
