April 13, 2021 — The Vision Council and Reed Exhibitions, organizers of Vision Expo, have announced that the National Optometric Association (NOA), an organization dedicated to “advancing the visual health of minority populations” through eyecare services to the minority community, will host an upcoming Regional Meeting on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5 at Vision Expo East, scheduled to take place June 2–5 in Orlando, FL, at the Orange County Convention Center.

“The National Optometric Association is thrilled to be partnering with Vision Expo East 2021,” says Sherrol A. Reynolds, O.D., president of the NOA. “We look forward to hosting our membership in Orlando, providing exclusive education opportunities, and taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities to connect with the vision care community that Vision Expo always offers.”

Due to Covid-19, the NOA national convention will be a virtual event and this in-person regional meeting will serve as an opportunity for NOA doctors and National Optometric Student Association (NOSA) students to safely connect. As part of the regional meeting, NOA will offer six hours of education exclusive to their members on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5.

In addition, on Saturday, June 5, the NOA will host a panel discussion at The Seen, a new Vision Expo main stage destination offering collaborative learning. The panel, “Excellence: Overcoming Obstacles to Optometric Success,” will feature NOA doctors sharing their experience and tools for successfully navigating within the optometric profession.

“We look forward to welcoming the National Optometric Association to Orlando this June,” says Fran Pennella, vice president, Vision Expo, at Reed Exhibitions. “The NOA’s commitment to Vision Expo is yet another testament to how the vision care industry is coming together for this important industry event.”
