2023-24 Oral Health Promotion Award Recipient
Ms. Jocelyn Johnston
Jocelyn Johnston has been involved in every aspect of the BCDA since its beginning, serving admirably as its Executive Director. She has worked tirelessly to create and support a strong and unified dental community serving British Columbians.
Jocelyn began her career in organized dentistry when there were few women in leadership positions. Her determination, passion, and hard work have garnered her the respect of all of those she has worked with, both provincially and nationally. She believes in a strong and united profession and is committed to a strong national voice and a strong CDA. As she heads into retirement from the BCDA, she leaves behind a proud legacy and a strong foundation on which others can grow and succeed.
