From The President |
I am excited to take on the position of president of our organization, The Opticians Association of Illinois. Our challenge is to stand together, helping opticians to become certified. The opticians’ employed by some chains stores and private offices are now requiring their dispenser to become certified. Do not wait until you are forced to become certified, Make it Your Choice. Get your certification; continue your education and support of your state association. Certification benefits our patients and our community as a whole. Stay up to date in advancing opticianry in our state by becoming a member of the Opticians Association of Illinois. Stay in touch, email us and help us grow yours’ and our profession. Standing together in numbers, makes us strong.
Pam Lamberson, ABOC, CPOA

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Your OAI board wants to thank all of you who attended the Fall Conference in Springfield, Il on Nov 12th. Another thank you goes to all the past members who have turned in their membership renewals for the 2012 OAI year and the third thank you goes to all of our new members! If you haven't renewed yet, there is still time to take advantage of the "early bird "special, which reduces your yearly fee to $75. Please encourage anyone you know who is an optician, and not a member, to join, and be sure and let any new opticians you know about OAI and the great conferences and speakers we have. We have a link to our membership form right here on our website, and an e-mail link that will get any questions you may have answered. It is all of our faithful members and our potential new members who make the OAI a working organization and who help present opticians in the state of Illinois in a professional manner. As your board we are always working to towards making your conferences a worthwhile investment of your time and at the same time a fun relaxing weekend. As you can see, the 2012 Spring Conference is already set, so plan now to make April 13-15 your weekend of learning as well as a chance for a spring break! Please keep checking back and as more details become available we will be sharing them. We are wishing for all of you, a safe healthy and happy holiday season!
THANK YOU!!!
Pam, Sheila, Marsha, Bob, Kim, Pauline, and Gene
