Why Should You Join the OWA?

Members of the Optical Women's Association are encouraged to excel in their chosen way. By actively welcoming and celebrating diversity and inclusion, we create space for growth and a richer experience for all.

Our Mission

Ally Kamelhar, Senior Content Specialist at Marchon Eyewear

Connect, Inspire, Lead

We support our membership by providing mentoring and outreach opportunities, professional and social networking, a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among all levels of the industry, and by raising awareness of women's roles in the optical industry.

 

But, those aren't the only perks! We also host annual events in New York and Las Vegas that coincide with the Vision Expo shows that have become must-attend destinations for anyone going to the shows. On top of that, our members also receive an annual magazine subscription and book selection that support our overall mission.
