Girl Bosses: Optical Industry Entrepreneurs

Based on the OWA book selection, #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso, creator/CEO of Nasty Gal, a panel of female entrepreneurs from the optical industry will explore and provide insight into how they decided to run their own business, the challenges they've faced; how they've turned those challenges into opportunities; and how they became Girl Bosses of their own.

Some of the quotes from the book that have inspired the questions for the panelist include:

#GirlBoss

If you've ever thought of being your own "Girl Boss" this event is a must. Even if you are not your own girl boss, you'll walk away with valuable insights that will inspire, inform and educate anyone in business, whether for themselves or others.

The OWA greatly appreciates its partnership with International Vision Expo for generously providing event spaces and numerous other considerations for our events.

Launched in 2005 originally as the OWA Professional Optical Women's Workshops (POWW), this popular event has become an OWA "signature series" overseen by the OWA Events Committee. Its goal is to provide forums for OWA members to gather and network while gaining access to information geared toward moving them along their career path. The first Connection Series event — Seeing (Blind) Spots? Men and Women Working Together — was held in September 2014.

Connection Series events will be listed on the OWA Events page, and registration links / additional details for upcoming events can be found here.
