Looking for a speaker with dual approved courses

It is becoming more and more difficult for us to find NCLE speakers and obtain sponsorship. With that being said, we have had speakers in the past who have courses that are both ABO and NCLE approved. This works really well for us in Virginia, a state that requires licensing but not continuing education.

The ABO is not able to provide a list of speakers or courses, so I'm turning to the optical community in case you know of speakers who have courses that are dual approved or can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

You might try contacting the National Federation of Opticianry Schools (NFOS). Many NFOS opticianry instructors have the skill set to present as speakers but may have not bothered to get ABO or NCLE speaker approval.

Ya just gotta love the good old ABO.

Contact fellow member here, Laurie Pierce, I'm sure she can help you.

I would offer but I let the NCLE-AC lapse.

Michelle, as you are aware, I have a lot of dual approved courses.
