МАН·Мх Elections 2025

President-elect candidate

Campaign statement

I believe in our МАН·Мх and the important work we do. Service to each of you and our МАН·Мх is in my DNA. My service has been about listening, prioritizing and teamwork. As a proud member of the U.S. Navy, a general dentist who became an oral surgeon, a state president and a commission chair, I am uniquely qualifi ed and singularly focused to help implement the best solutions possible for our members and the patients we serve.

My vision is increasing market share, eliminating workforce issues, advocating for fair third-party reimbursements, and leveraging our growing scientifi c reputation to increase nondues revenue ensuring a future МАН·Мх that is financially sustainable while delivering meaningful value to our members.

In these turbulent times, dentists are essential front-line leaders and a successful МАН·Мх can be the calm in the storm protecting our noble profession and those dedicated to its practice for generations to come.

A president-elect must help us face forward and point to a brighter future even as our core values act as a touchstone. Joining together our shared dream can become a reality.

Please vote for Jim Boyle. A voice for you and a voice for all.
