GDA Government Affairs Team Launches Policy Podcast

Sep 19, 2025
Join Janelle and Jon Wednesdays at 12 PM

Starting this week, Janelle and Jon (aka J2) began bringing GDA members a weekly update on all things Georgia dental health policy. The Georgia General Assembly’s sessions only last for the first third of the year, but GDA advocates for dentists year-round. Tune in to the GDA Hub to learn more about advocacy in the “off-season.”

Join Us Every Wednesday at 12 PM Eastern

In our first episode, we discussed our contact dentist program, upcoming legislative receptions, and ongoing study committees. To learn more about lawmakers’ conversations about eliminating personal income taxes and insurance policy in Georgia, head on over to the GDA Hub today. After the episode, submit your ideas for a podcast name (dental puns encouraged), questions, or comments to the GDA government affairs team.
