GAYLE GLENN

DDS, MSD

The 2002 American Business Woman of ABWA is Gayle Glenn, an orthodontist who owns her own practice and who just finished her term as 2000-- 2001 president of Duncanville Charter Chapter in Duncanville, Texas.

"Being named American Business Woman of ABWA was

quite an honor and a thrill," says the 16-year ABWA member. "I felt honored just being nominated a Top Ten. I knew that I was joining a long list of very accomplished and dedicated career women.

In addition to owning a thriving private practice, Gayle recently finished her tenure as president of the Southwestern Society of Orthodontists. She was the first woman to ever hold this office in the association's 100-year history. Both of these accomplishments were a result of persistent dedication to the fulfillment of her professional goals, and a major part of the reason she was chosen for ABWA's top honor. Gayle's civic involvement played a role as well.
