OFFICER SPOTLIGHT

Ona Erdt CDA, R.D.A., AAS

MDAA Matrix Coordinator

Membership Chairman

Ona completed her training at Washtenaw Community College and is employed by Dr. Kimberly Rice, a general dentist. She has only been a member of ADAA for 5 years, but has jumped in and assumed the responsibilities of organizing MDAA Seminars for the past 2 years. The Spring 2007 Seminar in Frankenmuth was attended by over 230 participants! Ona has changed gears and is now our Matrix Coordinator!

Ona's family members include her husband, Jay, and "un-human" and furry son Akira. When she gets a break from her Dental Assisting job and MDAA responsibilities, she enjoys scrapbooking, writing, and reading. Ona was awarded the Ruth M. Edwards award at the 2008 MDAA House of Delegates. It wasn't easy keeping the award a secret as she is the Awards Chairman!

Her vision for Dental Assistants is to be utilized to the best of our abilities and respected as highly trained professionals!
