Henry Schein, Inc., the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, announced March 1 that it will sponsor keynote speaker author and entrepreneur Erica Dhawan at the 2023 Women in DSO event, “Empower and Grow 2023,” on March 8 to 10, 2023, at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. 

Women in DSO is a nonprofit organization supporting the empowerment and growth of women leaders in dental support organizations (DSOs). Dhawan’s presentation, which will focus on collaboration and innovation, will take place Thursday, March 9 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Dirk Benson, chief commercial officer of the North America Distribution Group at Henry Schein, said in a news release that the company believes that creating a diverse and inclusive environment goes beyond Henry Schein and extends to external partners, such as Women in DSO, who share a common mission. 

“As a founding sponsor of Women in DSO, our support and participation reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to elevate female leadership, embrace inclusion, and celebrate the successful achievement of women in dentistry,” he said. 

Erica Dhawan is an internationally recognized leading authority, speaker and advisor on 21st century teamwork, collaboration and innovation. She is the author of two books: Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence, and Digital Body Language: How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance. Dhawan shares innovative strategies to unlock the collective power of teams, build a culture of trust across any distance and create authentic engagement to ensure competitiveness.

Dhawan frequently appears in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal. She speaks on global stages ranging from the World Economic Forum at Davos to TEDx and for companies such as Coca-Cola, FedEx, Goldman Sachs, Walmart, SAP and Cisco. She has degrees from Harvard University, MIT Sloan and The Wharton School.

Henry Schein is also engaged with Women in DSO at the leadership level. Kathleen Titus, Henry Schein’s director of community health centers and corporate relations, serves as a founding Women in DSO board member and Samantha Glucksman, Henry Schein’s director of strategic accounts for the North America Distribution Group, and McKenzie Fagan, area sales manager for Henry Schein One, serve on the Women in DSO Advisory Board.

“Women in dentistry have continued to make countless contributions and innovations in the dental industry,” said Titus in the news release. “By collaborating with Women in DSO, we support female leaders in all stages of work by creating opportunities to share, connect, learn and develop both personally and professionally in alignment with their career goals and aspirations.”

Dr. Aman Kaur, Women in DSO founder and board president, said that Henry Schein’s “valuable resources, industry footprint and track record of empowering leaders in dentistry will help us continue to elevate women leaders in the DSO space.”
