(Charlotte, NC, November 25, 2019) America’s ToothFairy is pleased to announce that three new members have joined its Board of Directors. Each brings a unique perspective and expert knowledge to strengthen the organization’s ability to effectively and efficiently deliver resources and support for nonprofit clinics and organizations providing oral health services to children in need.

Julie Paulsen is Senior Director of Human Resources at Align Technology, Inc., makers of Invisalign clear aligners and the iTero intraoral scanner. As a strategic human resources business partner with global responsibility, Ms. Paulsen is a strong supporter of the community and volunteerism and has been a driving force behind Align’s support of its communities. As a result, she is also responsible for Align’s corporate social responsibility program, which has become increasingly important as the company continues to grow and increase its global presence. A longtime sponsor, Align is an America’s ToothFairy Corporate Underwriter and supports oral health outreach and educational programs impacting thousands of youth across the country.

Sergey Kunin, President & CEO of IQ Dental Supply emigrated to the United States in 1996 and worked for Becker-Parkin Dental Supply where he advanced to the role of Executive Vice President.

In 2017 Sergey started IQ Dental Education, an academic institution offering dental related continuing education courses, dental radiology classes, review courses in infection control and general chairside dental assisting. IQ Dental began its support of America’s ToothFairy in 2015 and hosts the annual “Tee for the ToothFairy Charity Golf Tournament”. This event has grown over the years and will be held for the fourth consecutive year in May 2020 at The Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg NJ, a larger venue to allow for expanded participation.
