                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. B.J. Mistry on her 
installment as President of the Ninth District Dental Association.
  Founded in 1909 and with a membership of close to 1600 dentists, the 
Ninth District Dental Association is dedicated to advancing the dental 
profession and promoting public service. I have no doubt that under the 
leadership and guidance of B.J. Mistry the organization will continue 
to grow and expand the positive role it plays in our communities.
  A graduate of the Government Dental College in Ahmedabad, India, as 
well as the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Mistry 
has played an active role in promoting dentistry and proper dental 
health throughout her career. She has served as an Assistant Clinical 
Professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is a longtime 
member of the American Dental Association and previously served 5 years 
on the Board of Governors for the Ninth District Dental Association.
  Her installment as the 98th President of the Ninth District Dental 
Association also marks a historic occasion as she becomes the first 
woman and first immigrant to lead the organization.
  I am honored to work closely with Dr. B.J. Mistry to better our 
community, and I urge my colleagues to join me today in recognizing her 
accomplishments.
