Trey Lawrence will take up the reins as CEO of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) on March 1. Ahead of that, he joined the Orthodontic Podcasts podcast to talk to host Alison Werner about the role he’s stepping into and the work of advancing the association’s strategic plan. Lawrence covers the AAO’s advocacy and legal efforts, continued implementation of the Strategic Plan, and what members can expect from the upcoming Annual Session in New Orleans. He also talks about the relationship he wants with members—from residents in their first year to senior doctors approaching retirement.
