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

Keep checking back for information on the 2008 Fall Conference

Our Spring Conference was deemed a great success by everyone who attended. Our CEC speaker was Deb White, who was voted Educator of the year in 1995 by the National Federation of Opticianry Schools. Familiar faces Michael Myers presented the ABO review class and Bob Hughbanks gave a hands on adjustment class and a basic lensometry course. We elected some new officers and some new faces were voted to our Board of Directors this year. All of us believe we will be bringing you some new ideas and taking you in new directions this coming year. Please feel free to contact any of us with your ideas or with any questions you might have. The OAI is YOUR organization and as the board we would like to know what you would like to do at YOUR conferences.
