She joined the AAE with 11 years in Association work, most recently as the Director of Health Policy at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.<\/p>\n<p>In her current role, she supports the AAE\u2019s strategic goal for the dental profession to value endodontists as partners with advanced expertise in restoring oral health by liaising with broad range of stakeholder groups, including other dental organizations, regulatory and policy making agencies, dental plans and more. Catherine directs and administers programs relevant to advocacy and professional affairs and serves as a staff liaison to the Practice Affairs and Educational Affairs Committees.<\/p>\n<p>We have been thrilled welcoming Catherine to the AAE. If you have not already, please join us in congratulating Catherine on her new role and welcoming her to the AAE!<\/p>\n<p>When not working, Catherine loves reading (about work issues), bicycling and playing with her recently rescued hound dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAE&#8217;s Associate Executive Director for Advocacy and Professional Relations Catherine French joined the AAE in March of 2022.
