Fast Company - Magazine Cover

A benefit of your current membership in the Optical Women's Association comes to you regularly in the printed form of Fast Company magazine!

All current OWA members receive a complimentary, one-year printed subscription (10-issues-per-year) to this full-color business magazine, reporting on topics including innovation, digital media, technology, change management, leadership, design and social responsibility.

Fast Company is written for innovative pioneers such as yourself, who are transcending the boundaries of normal business conventions and shaping the business world.

What You Can Expect in Each Issue:

  • Fast Talk: A brief glimpse that focuses on a specific subject and highlights the players and innovators who are shaking things up.
  • Now: A summary of the major events and occurrences that are happening during the current month
  • Next: A look at what is on the horizon in the future of design, innovation and sustainability
  • Columns: "Scobleizer," the tech guru's take on the emergence of new technology; "Made To Stick" a look on what is going on in the world of marketing; "Not So Fast," Elizabeth Spiers' column which explores the Pros and Cons of a business dilemma.
  • Features: Fast Company's feature articles cover everything ranging from the innovators in business who are currently shaping the world to the pioneers who will do so in the future. Recent features have covered a look at the competition for Steve Jobs and Apple, and Jonathan Goodwin's ability to turn a Lincoln Continental into a 100mpg gas saver. Fast Company also has annual features such as its Masters of Design and Fast 50 issues which showcase the leaders in the world of design and the top 50 innovators and companies who will soon change the world.
