FADE - Membership Chair
I am Betsy Boggie, a BA graduate of the University of Connecticut ’85 and a CRDH graduate of Palm Beach State College ’96. For the past eight years I have been working as an adjunct instructor at PBSC and enjoy helping students learn to be skilled and ethical dental hygienists. I have worked in various private practice settings as a DA and a CRDH for over 40 years. When I am not in a clinic, I enjoy being a volunteer for Special Olympics/Special Smiles events and I love spending time with my husband Gordon, my English Pointer Arrow and many dear friends and family.
