PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Hello Everyone,
Hello Everyone,
He we are bringing in the year 2010. It is once again time to come
together for our Spring Convention. This will mark my 19th year of
attending the Arkansas conventions and I must say, they have been
memorable years. I have enjoyed working with the members, board members,
vendors, speakers, and all others who attend.
Supporting your association also supports your career choice. This has
been such a fulfilling career for me and the OAA has been
a big contributor. We not only get educational hours and fellowship at
these meeting. We also get guidance.
So please join us in Little Rock the weekend of March 12-14. Make use of
this opportunity to further yourself in the optical field. We
Look forward to having you there.
Sincerely,
Velvet Prewitt
Opticians Association of Arkansas, President
