UOA Takes the Lead: A Strategic Week of Collaboration and Opportunity

UOA Executive Director, Gwen Cooper, and VP Aarlan Aceto attended Optometry’s Meeting & 5th World Congress to explore new partnerships and elevate the voice of opticians on the national stage.​​

The conversations were meaningful—meetings with key partners solidified important relationships and set the groundwork for future collaboration. We’re especially excited about the ongoing discussions with Government Affairs teams.​

This event reminded us of the wide range of perspectives across opticianry and the importance of thoughtful, inclusive leadership. The UOA remains committed to leading with unity, purpose, and strategy. We’re energized and ready to continue the work.​

Thank you to our Board and to all who support this mission. Together, we’re shaping a better future for opticians across the nation.​

In Unity,​
