I would like to take this opportunity to thank the AAOF for the immense support I did receive from them in the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 periods. Both fellowships were key to help me support my first academic years here in Alberta. Being able to use the funds to support attendance to workshops, meetings and research was invaluable.

As it can be seen in the AAOF website these fellowships have helped tens of new orthodontic faculty members in their initial years of their academic careers. Although it could be argued that the amounts per se may not necessarily be considered major we as young recipients do really appreciate the fact itself. As an educator to see fellow practitioners support us does really give us an essential and powerful message.

Thanks all.
