MACOMB, MI – The Michigan Dental Association has selected their next president, Dr. Martin Makowski. “Dr. Mak,” a veteran member of the MDA, has been an active group participant since moving back to Michigan in 1987.

Dr. Mak served in a number of positions within the MDS. Beginning his service track with the MDS, Dr. Mak was elected to a position as Chair of the Dental Health Month event, and continued to serve in this position for several years. After, Dr. Mak accepted a position as Chair to the Programs Committee, wherein he was expected to choose and organize speakers for local meetings that occur on a quarterly basis. From there, Dr. Mak moved on to become a Councilperson for the MDS, and eventually was elected to positions such as Secretary, President-Elect, President, and Past-President.
Dr. Mak’s involvement with the MDA began with a six-year Trustee position. During his time spent as a Trustee, Dr. Mak was also elected as both Treasurer and Vice President, respectively. Accepting his position as Vice President of the MDA put Dr. Mak on the path to MDA presidency.
Dr. Mak has expressed that “leadership is an evolving process.” Throughout his own “process,” this incredibly dedicated pediatric dentist has felt consistently rewarded by the dental profession.
