Legislators
To participate actively on behalf of our profession, there are a number of things you can do:
Join the grass-roots network of optometrists who work to build understanding and influence.
Be politically active with elected officials and candidates on behalf of optometry, yourself and health care providers generally. Contact our Governmental Affairs Chairperson- Dr. Richard Skay to get involved. Email: rmskay@yahoo.com
