Dr. Cipes spent the past weekend in Evanston, Illinois at the Leadership Institute of the prestigious Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.   Dr. Cipes’ attendance was sponsored by Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children: The Foundation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.  Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children believes that leadership is critical to their mission of helping children in need and this experience provides pediatric dentists the opportunity to grow and refine their skills.

For the past 3 years Dr. Cipes has attended the Leadership Institute.  The small group focused on a variety of topics important for leadership development.   Topics included leadership and strategy formulation, decision making, crisis management, motivation, and ethics, taught by some of “the best and brightest” minds in leadership development at Kellogg School of Management.

Dr. Cipes is thankful to Healthy Smiles Healthy Children: the Foundation of the AAPD and Ultradent for the opportunity to participate in such a meaningful experience.
