OPTLA
***NEW*** 5/17/20: The resumption of full optometric care as of May, 15, 2020, is welcome relief for OAL members across the state!
In more good news, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began it’s second round of grants to providers, also on May 15, 2020. For most Doctors of Optometry, these grants are a more than double what the first round was, so keep an eye on your bank account for a direct deposit from “HHS STIM”!
2020 Annual Convention RESCHEDULED to October 23-25, 2020
**DUE TO COVID-19, THE OAL BOARD HAS MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO MOVE THE ANNUAL CONVENTION TO OCTOBER 23-25, 2020. WE WILL HAVE A FULL CONVENTION PROGRAM WITH 17hrs of CE AVAILABLE TO ODs, EXHIBIT HALL, PARAOPTOMETRIC PROGRAM, AND A SATURDAY NIGHT SOCIAL TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER. WITH THIS CHANGE, THERE WILL BE NO FALL CE CONFERENCE THIS YEAR. ROOM RESERVATIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, SO YOU WILL NEED TO REBOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM FOR THE OCTOBER DATES.
