Early career optometrists, final year university students, other interested SA Blue Sky Congress delegates and local Optometry SA members are cordially invited to attend the Early Career Optometrists South Australia networking event: Meet the Board, on Thursday 9 November 2017. The event is being held the night before the SA Blue Sky Congress 2017.

The Optometry Board of Australia (the Board) is co-hosting the networking event with Early Career Optometrists SA to engage more directly with optometrists who are in the early stages of their career and have graduated within the last ten years. This has been identified as a strategic priority for the Board. As the future of the optometry profession, the Board views early career optometrists as an important stakeholder in Australian optometry regulation.

The event offers attendees the opportunity to:

• meet the Board, including community Board members
• learn the difference between the role of the Board and the role of Optometry Australia (OA)
• learn how the Board, optometrists, OA, the public and other key stakeholders can shape the future of optometry regulation
• ask the Board questions, and
• learn how to become a Board or Committee member.
