Member Benefit: Book Selection
Christie Walker, OWA President
Each year, it's the job of the OWA president to select the book or books for the member benefit. This year there were so many excellent choices that it was pretty difficult to come up with only three. So to make my job easier, I looked for books that would tie in with themes we explored at the Champagne Breakfast event at Vision Expo East, and would be the theme book for our Connection Series event at Vision Expo West. Check out these three books and then make your selection. You will be able to pick the book format — digital or print. Your book will arrive in time for a summer read.
