The OWA's Connection Series event "Girl Bosses: Optical Industry Entrepreneurs" featured Moderator, Christie Walker; Dr. Ann Rea Miller (Visual Eyes); Corianna Dotson and Brianna Dotson, founders of the sunglass brand Coco and Breezy; Corinne McCormack, founder of Corinne McCormack, Inc.; Jessica Butler (Eye Power Kids Wear); and Kristin Ellsworth (Peeps Eyewear). |
This diverse panel of optical girl bosses shared their stories and insights based on the featured book #GirlBoss. |
With over 100 attendees, every seat was taken at the OWA's Connection Series event, and the event was streamed live. |
Corinne McCormack said that "People think you have to be young to start a business and that isn't true. There are no rules. Create your own rules and game and follow your heart." |
Coco and Breezy shared that "being and entrepreneur is about how you turn a negative into a positive" |
Christie Walker was presented with a gift to commemorate her retirement and years of service to the OWA. She will be missed! |
The photo booth was a popular stop during the Friday Night Networking Reception and Raffle. Check out #OWAlovesvegas for more photos. |
Raffle ticket sales were at an all-time high, in part because of our new membership drive! |
Congratulations to all the raffle prize winners! |
