Many doctors of optometry braved the cold weather and crowds to attend district holiday parties hosted by their legislators. COA members made time to attend these festive events in an effort to promote optometry – and perhaps make a child happy on Christmas morning by participating in the legislators’ toy drives. As we enter 2016, please set aside a little time to attend events your legislators will be hosting in their districts. It’s a great way to strengthen your relationship with your law makers. They are fun, good for optometry and good for your community!
Dr. Mark Nakano (SBOS) with Assembly Member David Hadley
Below is a list of doctors who attended holiday parties, listed by society. Thank you, doctors, for your efforts to make a difference and advance the profession of optometry!
