Milly Goldstein, who in 2002 became the first woman to serve as chair of the board of directors of the Dental Trade Alliance, has passed away.

Her funeral will be Tuesday, December 26, at 2:30 PM at Chapel Shalom Memorial Park in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

"Milly was active in all aspects of the dental trade," a DTA release says, "also serving as president of the International Dental Manufacturers Association."

Goldstein was honored last February by Oral Health America with the organization's Tribute Award.
