Join us for the OWA Champagne Breakfast Event, presented by OWA Platinum Sponsor, Luxottica. 2020 Pleiades Award Honoree Millicent Knight, OD (Essilor of America), Pyxis Award Honoree Jean Sabre (Uptown Vision), and Visionary Award Honoree Sheena Taff (OpticianAboutTown) will each be recognized for their involvement in the OWA and the optical industry, and will also announce their Charity of Choice selections. Breakfast will be served, complete with a champagne toast.
This event will also feature keynote speaker Erin O'Malley, leadership facilitator, trainer, and consultant. Ms. O'Malley works with business leaders and teams to create cultures of trust, connection, and loyalty. Her mission is to stop the mayhem that comes from confusing communication, lack of engagement, and inaction by helping to craft "cultures of connection" through curiosity, care, and controlling the one thing we can control — how we show up. From the frontline to the C-suite, she helps redefine perceived problems with leadership, engagement, and loyalty, focusing on the real issue: connection.
While she currently calls Jacksonville, Florida, home, O'Malley identifies as a Jersey Girl, with the stamina to rock ten years in hospitality leadership, the strength to survive two years in the Peace Corps in Panama, the savvy to consult for the past 10 years with industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to automotive, and the smarts to get out of Jersey and see the world.
When O'Malley is not enthusiastically connecting with her audiences, she prefers to be at the beach, spending time with her husband Mike and their dog, who is named — unlike so many dogs — Steve.
