President
Dr Angelo Papageorgiou
I graduated from The University of Adelaide with a Bachelor Of Dental
Surgery in 1993 and received recognition as a Fellow of the Academy
Dentistry Internationale in 2004. Since 1993 and up to 2000, I was
employed in private practice and for the last 17 years have been
self-employed in my own practices- one as a solo operator and the other
in partnership. In the early years I did combine private practice with
stints at both SADS as a dentist and also tutoring final year General
Dental Practice in the Dental Faculty of Adelaide University. I have
been a member and participated in various study groups over the years
and maintained continuing education. I have held numerous positions over
the years and this includes Federal Secretary /Treasurer of the
Australian Society Of Endodontology Inc. 1997-99. I have always been a
member of the ADA and ADASA and heavily involved in its activities. I
have been a Member and Chaired the Recent Graduates Committee in its
infancy and a past councillor of ADASA Council for the period 2001-2007.
Since 2002 until present, I have been a member of the ADASA Public
Relations Committee and for 14 of those years I have been Chair of this
Committee. This has given me a wealth of experience in matters relating
to the education, promotion and public awareness of oral health and
dentistry both within our profession and the community. I have led
various ADASA initiatives such the Kindergarten Screening Program for
pre-schoolers. I have had the honour of working closely with the
Presidents of the day and in recent years have expanded my role as an
ADASA Spokesperson, representing the profession both in this state and
nationally. This has given me an insight into the workings of the media
in both print radio and television and am recognised as a point of
contact for matters that relate to the ADASA. I am keen to lead the
Association in the implementation of social media in its functions and
daily role and this is important given the changing times and
demographics of both our membership and public.
Aside of my professional interests, I enjoy spending time with my wife
Eleni and our three children. I enjoy socialising with family and
friends and tending to my garden.
