On November 6 the Indiana University School of Dentistry Alumni Association presented the IDA Covid Task Force with a special recognition for their leadership during COVID. The Alumni Association presents awards to individual dentists annually, but this was the first time the Association has presented an award to an organization.

Congratulations to all Task Force members! Accepting the award are IDA President Dr. Steven C. Hollar, chair of the COVID Task Force, committee member Dr. Pat Clark, and Dr. Steve Ellinwood, who was president of the IDA at the start of the COVID outbreak.
