direction of life-long good habits and oral health. Plus, I love that my patients will give me hugs and high fi ves at the end of their visits! In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, arranging altar fl owers for services at my church, and watching the Auburn Tigers with family and friends. A leader is someone who is able to adapt
and adjust in a way that brings out the best in the whole team. I think we all have our own leadership style and personality, and I think that being able to use your strengths and adjust your weaknesses helps to resolve confl icts, inspire your team members, and grow the organization. I also think collaboration is important to leadership—a good leader is not afraid to work alongside other team members no matter what the role is. T is shows your team that you see and appreciate their hard work and that you as the leader are not above doing any of their duties.
Dr. Donielle Williams Grin Gallery Pediatric Dentistry—Northwestern District Dental Society
I was drawn to pediatric dentistry because I believe the foundation of a person’s
oral health journey begins in childhood. It is a true privilege to guide and educate patients during those formative years, shaping habits that can last a lifetime. Outside the offi ce, I’m a proud wife, toddler mom, and a passionate foodie who loves exploring new restaurants. I also enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide! I’m a fi rm believer in servant leadership-
true leaders lead with empathy, compassion, and a willingness to serve others fi rst. T ey lead by example, creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and
inspired to grow. T is oſt en requires vision, patience, focus, tenacity, and the ability to communicate clearly and thoughtfully. As Simon Sinek said, “Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” T at kind of leadership not only strengthens teams but also leaves a meaningful and lasting impact.
The Georgia Dental Association is pleased to announce that the Leadership GDA program is now accepting applications and nominations for the Class of 2026.
