John Siebert has been elected as the new President of the British Dental Health Foundation.
John Siebert, Chairman of George Warman Publications, has become the new President of the British Dental Health Foundation. John replaces outgoing President Daniel Davis and will serve as President for the next two years. John joined the Foundation in March 2002. After serving his tenure as President-Elect, he now takes his position as President in his 10th year with the Foundation. John said: “I am particularly proud to lead the Foundation and I would like to thank outgoing President Daniel Davis who helped to lead the Foundation during very difficult times for charitable organisations. “I believe the Foundation has developed a very strong reputation over the past 40 years. The Trustees and I are looking forward to increasing awareness of the Foundation’s role and activities within the profession and the general public, as well as working successfully with our many partners to help improve the nation’s oral health further.”
