Category: NYSOA Events

***EVENT CANCELED***

NYSOA's Annual Optometry Advocacy Day will be held in Albany, NY on Wednesday, April 22, 2020! 

Please save the date and plan to join us as we work to enhance the reputation of the optometric profession by building relationships with legislators and underscoring the importance of optometry as the primary eye care profession.

Throughout the day participants will meet in small groups with legislators and their staff, covering every region of New York State. These meetings will be an opportunity to discuss the NYSOA's 2020 legislative priorities, as well as share your personal insights and experiences to better educate policymakers about the profession of optometry.

Round-trip transportation via charter bus from the NYC area is available to all participants. If you would like to reserve a seat on the bus, please indicate as such on your registration form.

Please stay tuned for additional details. Questions may be directed to Laura Lyman, Director of Member Services, at 518-449-7300 or [email protected].
