New York State Dental Association's Jarvie-Burkhart Award to be awarded at
Foundation of Excellence Awards Luncheon

Established in 1905, and named after former NYSDA leaders and dental pioneers, William Jarvie and Harvey Burkhart, the Jarvie-
Burkhart Award recognizes outstanding service to mankind through dentistry. It is NYSDA’s highest honor, presented in
recognition of great service "rendered mankind in the field of dentistry." Past winners include: Dr. Elliot Feinberg (1998), for his
commitment to promoting continuing education for the profession; the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped
(1992), for its efforts to increase access to dentistry to handicapped individuals, and Mr. David Kriser, Esq. (1994), whose
philanthropic endeavors included bestowing the David B. Kriser Dental Center at New York University and who established the
Institute for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Dentists.

This year’s recipient, Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni, has been the Dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific (UOP)
since 1978 and is a former president of the American Dental Association and the American Association of Dental Schools. An
orthodontist from San Francisco, he served as Director of the American Board of Orthodontics from 1979 to 1986 and as
President in 1986. Since 2003, Dr. Dugoni has served as President of the American Dental Association Foundation. He also serves
as Honorary Chairman of Dental Education: Our Legacy – Our Future, a national effort designed to raise awareness of the
challenges facing dental education in the U.S. and to promote a culture of philanthropy within dentistry to address these issues.

Providing a listing of just a mere handful of his numerous awards and honors would prove a daunting task. Anybody involved in
the profession cannot help but be aware of the legendary accomplishments of this progressive thinker, philanthropist and visionary.
