Welcome to the G.V. Black District Dental Society!

The G. V. Black District Dental Society is a component (local dental society) of the Illinois State Dental Society and American Dental Association and has been serving the profession of dentistry since 1929.

The Society was named in honor of Dr. Greene Vardiman Black, who was born in 1836 in central Illinois and is known as "one of the founders of modern dentistry". Today, the Society has 155 members who are located in Sangamon, Logan, Menard, Cass, Morgan, Scott and Montgomery counties and a portion of Macoupin County within Illinois. Members includes general practitioners as well as dental specialists.

Sexual Harassment Training Requirement

Oct 9, 2025
All Illinois employers are required by law to train employees on sexual harassment prevention by December 31 every year. The Illinois State Dental Society offers an “On Demand" Sexual Harassment Prevention Course that can be provided to employees to meet the employer’s requirements.

Please review the following guidelines regarding your annual requirement for Sexual Harassment Training:

  • Law 1: All Illinois employers are required to train all employees on sexual harassment prevention by December 31 every year.  Employers can provide this training to employees by sharing the Sexual Harassment Course. To read about the law, click here. 
  • Law 2: All Illinois Dentists and Hygienists are required to take a sexual harassment course once every 3-year license renewal period. Dentists and Hygienists will each need to purchase their own course for CE credit. To read about the law, click here.

For video instructions on how to use CE21, click here. 

Members may purchase the course at a reduced cost of $50 by clicking here.  You will need to sign in to your CE21 account to trigger the member price.

Here are some common answers to your questions: 

Assistants and staff members may watch the video after it has been watched by the licensed professional. Employers should keep an internal record of training compliance to be made available for IDHR inspection upon request. Records that reflect compliance may include, but are not limited to, a certificate of participation, a signed employee acknowledgment, or training sign-in worksheets. A training record should include the names of employees trained, the date of training, the sign-in worksheets, copies of certificates of participation issued, and a copy of all written or recorded materials that comprise the training and the name of the training provider, if applicable. ISDS offers a downloadable training log for members on our website. You may access it and other resources by clicking here.
