Message from the Online Community Manager

A New Face to Help Post Your Case
For more than two years as Dentaltown.com’s online community manager, I have had the distinct privilege of helping Townies find answers to their questions and aid them in navigating Dentaltown.com. Though e-mail and the message boards have always been a great resource, a lot of Townies still aren’t aware that our help line on the Dentaltown.com homepage was my direct line, which often led to many conversations that began with, “Oh! You’re a real person!” This always brought smile to my face because I know the deflated feeling you get when you hear the automated “Press one to reach…” –especially when you’re frustrated with your computer.

Since my time at Dentaltown I’ve helped hundreds of Townies with their questions and concerns, which has always been the highlight of my day. Recently my duties have changed since I took over as Dentaltown’s marketing director, and because of this new transition, I am pleased to announce that I’m passing the torch – or telephone in this case – to Dentaltown’s brand new Online Community Manager Ashley Harris. Ashley will be available to help Townies by e-mail or phone. So whether you need a reminder of your login information, want to learn how to post a case, or just feel like talking about Dentaltown, you can give her a call. I will miss my daily phone chats with all of you, but I’m not going anywhere so you can still get in touch with me, plus I guarantee you’re going to love working with Ashley!

(I’ll still) See you on the message boards,
Kerrie Kruse, Marketing Director.

Hello Townies, and thank you for the introduction, Kerrie! I’m Ashley Harris and I am very excited to take the reins as online community manager. I was first introduced to Dentaltown last July, which is, without a doubt, the best resource for dental professionals in the world! I absolutely love this close knit, family-like community. I am eager to get to know many of you, and learn how I might be able to serve your needs as a Dentaltown.com user. I am here for you to voice your questions, concerns and general message board chatter. I’m only a private message, e-mail or phone call away!

Looking forward to meeting you all on the boards,
Ashley Harris, Online Community Manager
