 Vice President & Membership Director - Andreea Catana, RDH, CDA, AZEFDA, CRFDA, CDIPC, MPH. 

I bring 18 years of experience in dentistry, with a strong background in clinical dental assisting and dental hygiene, education, public health, and professional leadership. Andreea has been actively involved in organized dentistry through committee service, legislative advocacy efforts, student mentorship, and community outreach initiatives across Arizona. She cares deeply about the future of the dental hygiene profession and believes that strong education standards, professional unity, and engaged membership are essential to protecting public health and advancing the role of dental hygienists. Her goal during her board service is to strengthen member engagement by fostering connection, increasing participation, and ensuring hygienists at every career stage feel supported and represented. Andreea’s favorite part of being a dental hygienist is combining education and prevention to empower patients and communities to take control of their oral health. In her free time, she enjoys true crime podcasts, spending time with her family, and continuing to learn whenever she can.

 Secretary & Governance Manuals/Policies Director

Lynn Radler, RDH

I've been a Member of ADHA since 1986 as a student, and have been active in the “business” of ADHA since I moved to Arizona in 1993. The support of the organization, the years of friendships and camaraderie that I have experienced, are truly immeasurable. My interests reside in legislation and advocacy as it relates to our profession: increased opportunities, expanded functions, and RDH autonomy. I will work together with our AzDHA Board to help promote the desires of  hygienists in Arizona. A clinical hygienist for almost 38 years, I still have a passion to mentor new hygienists. I enjoy helping my patients improve their oral health. I work well with fearful patients to help make them comfortable and at ease. I love outdoor activities, and I love my rescue dogs. Enjoy getting together with friends and family to do outdoor activities, eat, and play games.
