OLA 2010 Annual Meeting Program Topics
“The theme for the 2010 OLA Annual Meeting - Tradition + Vision = The Future - reflects what is going on in the optical lab business as well as the discussions between OLA and The Vision Council. As the program chairman for 2010, I have been using OLA members’ comments and suggestions to prepare an agenda that tackles the important issues and problems facing optical labs. The education will feature a lot of panel discussions of lab owners and managers, sharing their experiences with these issues and problems.”
Mike Francesconi, OLA Vice President
