The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is pleased to announce its 2007 Lifelong Learning & Service Recognition (LLSR) recipients. The LLSR is a formal acknowledgment of the AGD Mastership awardees in the areas of continuing education, dental-related community service and service to organized dentistry. The prestigious LLSR symbolizes a member's desire to give back to the community.
