Honoring Extraordinary Service: Welcoming Four Distinguished Leaders to the Osteo Science Foundation Emeritus Board

Osteo Science Foundation recognizes four exceptional leaders, Dr. Jay P. Malmquist, Dr. Peter K. Moy, Dr. Alan S. Herford, and Dr. Mark E. Wong for their vision, leadership, and years of service. Each has previously served as Chair of the Board of Directors, and each has left an indelible mark on the Foundation. As Drs. Malmquist, Moy, Herford, and Wong conclude their service on the Board of Directors, we are honored to welcome them to the Osteo Science Foundation Emeritus Board.

Collectively, these distinguished surgeons have devoted years of service to advancing the Foundation's mission of supporting research, education, and innovation in Oral and CranioMaxillofacial Surgery. Through their strong leadership, they have developed and influenced all major programs at the Foundation, strengthened the Foundation's impact, and created opportunities that will benefit generations of clinicians, researchers, and residents.

Although they are stepping away from the Board of Directors, their wisdom, experience, and commitment to the Foundation will continue through their service on the Emeritus Board. We extend our deepest gratitude for their remarkable contributions and celebrate the enduring legacy each has created.
