Inaugural address.


Presented at the President's Gala, July 16, 2005, in Washington, D.C.

You see them on the uniforms of officers, you see them in the night sky and yes, you may even see them in the hills of Hollywood. Stars have long been a sign of leadership. They are the thing to watch, the light to follow, a sign of accomplishment. Where there are stars there is respect, admiration and awe.

Some stars shine brightly throughout their lifetime, sparkling, glowing, and lighting our path. Some twinkle in and out. Some are brief, but meaningful streaks as they pass by seemingly on the way to other things, yet sharing their light with us. All impact those who witness them. All have a reason and a purpose.

It's not often, or for very long, that you see just one star shining alone. Most often that single star is joined by another, then a few more until the sky is filled with light.

This year we salute the "stars" of the American Dental Assistants Association--those who lead us in new directions and brighten our path. Those who twinkle as they work in their chosen profession. Those who shine brightly and are steadfast in the goals and hopes for this association. Those who streak across our skies, bringing new ideas "New Ideas" is the debut single by Scottish New Wave/Indie Rock act The Dykeenies.
