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
Opticians Association of Illinois
