A fantastic CE Opportunity coming up as we reach midway to renewal season!
It’s easy to treat CE like something you just need to get through.
Get the hours.
Renew the license.
Move on.
But over time, that creates distance.
Distance from evolving technology.
Distance from stronger troubleshooting.
Distance from other licensed opticians who are actively growing in the profession.
That gap builds quietly. Then, eventually, it shows up in how you practice.
This isn’t just about checking a box.
It’s about staying connected to the profession you’re part of.
Join us on June 14 at Georgia Piedmont Technical College for a focused one-day CE meeting built around real-world opticianry.
✔ 5 hours live ABO CE
✔ Georgia Law included
✔ Lunch included
✔ Additional online CE options
✔ Hybrid onsite/online format
Seats are limited.
