With every issue of their lifestyle magazine for women in dentistry, DeW Life (Dental entrepreneur Women) aims to inspire. In November, they’ll take that mission beyond the pages of the magazine to Charlotte, North Carolina as hosts of their inaugural retreat.

“We want to fill a void that exists regarding female leaders and inspirational voices. To show young ladies entering the profession that the opportunities are real. To encourage those already digging in to raise their voices and for those seasoned veterans to give back and refuse to quit…” is the credo prominently displayed on their website.

Opening the event on November 14 and 15 at the Providence Country Club: Learning to Live Your Strengths, with presenters from Strengths Savvy, an inspirational journey from Connie Dugan and a welcome from Chief DeW-er Anne M. Duffy, RDH.

“Bossy little girls become strong leaders. My dad used to lovingly call me a pushy broad. My grandmother lovingly noted that I was very loud, and my brother was grateful when I tried to chase the bullies away from him. To this day I will ask for raises for my co-workers if I think they are deserving. It came as no surprise that when I realized women in dentistry were not getting their due, not getting paid the same, not getting the keynotes, not getting the respect they deserve, being bullied and /or harassed at work, (need I go on?) that I would do what I could to change that. Yes, the birth of DeW Life was in my DNA.”
