As a whole, we have not been a very welcoming community to newbies. I think that we tend to scare off those who are new to the business. I know that I have been guilty of it.....have you?

How can we change? How can we become the community of optical professionals that we should be? How can we improve how we handle new members?

I am on a personal mission to try to change the climate here and make it more welcoming. I encourage others to join me in trying to make a difference.

I posted in a thread about sending newbies info, materials, websites, contact info, etc. to help and encourage them.
