Letter: My pledge

I want to help the optometric community via my involvement in the OFNC

About three years ago I called for a vote of no confidence in the Optometric Fees Negotiating Committee (OFNC) at the National Optometric Conference in 2014. My request was not granted and the vote never took place. Since then, very little has changed for the positive in terms of GOS fees, indeed there was a even a threat of a fee cut at the last official announcement.

While little has changed within GOS, a lot has changed in my professional career in those three years, most notably being elected to the AOP Council in 2015. I am now pleased to announce that the AOP has kindly given me the honour of being one of its representatives to attend OFNC meetings, with my first attendance scheduled for October 2017.
