New international president announced

Mervyn is only the second European in the society’s 110 year history ever to be bestowed with this accolade and in the words of the Alpha Omega Society it is: “In recognition of his devoted service as chairman of the London Chapter, as a member of the Charitable Trust, as a past international director and of his lifelong commitment to promoting the tenets of the Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity: fraternalism, professionalism and commitment to Judaic values.”

Omer K Reed, dental pioneer and Mervin’s mentor, was in attendance to see him honoured and Mervyn commented: “I believe we, as dentists, belong to one of the luckiest professions. When people ask what one gets out of Alpha Omega, I smile. I think of the friendships local, national and international. I think of the philanthropy in the past, in the present and what will be done in the future.” As President 2017, Mervyn and his wife Andy will be championing two philanthropic causes, both child related. The charities are Shalva and Aleh. Both charities are for children with disabilities and are dedicated to providing quality care and support, education and promoting social change.
