Don’t miss the keynote address with Barbara Corcoran
n
If the name Barbara Corcoran
sounds familiar, it’s because it is.
Best known for being a “Shark” and
executive producer on ABC’s “Shark
Tank,” she has been on the show for 11
seasons and invested in more than 80
businesses to date.
Corcoran’s credits include straight
Ds in high school and college and 20
jobs by the time she turned 23. It was
her next job that would make her one
of the most successful entrepreneurs
in the country: She borrowed $1,000
and quit her job as a waitress to start a
tiny real estate company in New York
City. The Corcoran Group is now con-
sidered one of the best-known brands
in the brokerage business.
Corcoran is also the author of the
best seller “Shark Tales: How I Turned
$1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business!”
and a host of the business podcast
“Business Unusual with Barbara Corcoran.”
At 1:05 p.m. on Thursday,
March 25, she will present “Inclusive
Leadership: A Fireside Chat with Barbara Corcoran,” discussing what it
means to be a leader in times of crisis.
Be sure to attend and walk away with
examples and ideas you can implement in your own life and practice.

ADSO applauds HHS for authorizing
dentists to administer COVID-19 vaccines
By ADSO Staff
n The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) applauds
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services’ (HHS) decision to
expand the group of qualified professionals able to administer the COVID19 vaccine to include dentists.
Dentists are exceptionally qualified to administer vaccines, and this
decision will expand the vaccine distribution and reach even more people
across the country, especially those
living in health professional shortage
areas.
“Dentists are more than qualified,
and clinics are sufficiently suited to
administer COVID-19 vaccines to the
public,” said Andrew Smith, executive director of the ADSO. “People
should not be hesitant to receive a
vaccine from a dentist, whether at
a vaccine clinic or dentist’s office.
Dentists regularly provide injections,

and they will be properly trained to
administer the COVID-19 vaccine.”
ADSO has been diligently working
with state and federal decision makers to ensure dental professionals are
able to contribute their skills during
this public health emergency.
During the last year, ADSO has
advocated for dental professionals
to receive emergency relief funds,
safely reopen dental practices and
The Association of Dental Support
