Missouri Opticians Association?

[smithaboc]

Anyone from Missouri or previously associated with any form of Association for Opticians in Missouri? I have not seen any listing for a formal association for Missouri on the OAA site or through google searches. A friend of mine says there at least used to be one in the state, but I find no signs of one ever existing. Any help is appreciated! :)

there used to be an association, but it has been long gone. There was talk some time ago about restarting, but it never came to fruition.

I was at the Opticians Assoc. of Kansas annual meeting on Sunday in O.P. Part of the discussion was to possibly have a combined Kansas/Missouri meet in the future and see if both states want to join forces to have one big association.

Starting an association would be a great asset to the profession there, and Kansas' joint meeting could certainly be a wonderful opportunity to measure interest. There are many around the country willin and able to help. Good luck.

I live just south of KC,MO and would love to be involved.

This sounds like a great idea!

I'll be in touch with the OAK president by this weekend. I let him know of Optiboard and hopefully he will be posting shortly.
