A Study Group Dedicated to the Education and Support of Dental Office Managers
For years, ACTSmart IT hosted the Dental Managers Society meetings in our offices in Pembroke.
Then, COVID hit and life changed! We published special editions of our newsletter with vital information to help keep you informed and viable. We shared our Team of Experts’ advice about PPP and PPE, CDC recommendations, legal advice as well as other encouragement to help you stay afloat.
After a few Zoom meetings, we stayed in contact through our monthly newsletters and weekly email blasts.
Of course, nothing is easy, and over the past few months, it has become increasingly difficult to send our email blasts because many of our subjects are also considered “spam” topics, such as Covid and other titles that you see above. We’ve worked that out by sending the email blast with links to this website. Let us know how it’s working for you.
Another change – after almost 2 years without in-house meetings, we decided to downsize and to move to Wareham. Now, Beth and Justin are closer to home and our grandkids have started school. Xander is in third grade and Sarah is in First Grade, so being closer to them is important to all of us.
Thank you for your support!
