A Message from the President:
"Welcome to Hilton Head Island!"
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to beautiful Hilton Head Island, the Westin, and the Georgia Optometric Association’s 122nd Annual Conference.
With 12 miles of stunning Atlantic beachfront, Hilton Head Island is nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway and is known for its scenic marshes, winding creeks, tranquil lagoons, and majestic moss-draped live oaks, pines, and palmettos.
I hope you enjoy all that the GOA Annual Meeting has to offer and take some time to experience the beauty, charm, and hospitality of the island during your stay.
We’ve designed this year’s program to offer not only outstanding continuing education, but also plenty of opportunities to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time with friends and family.
I look forward to seeing each of you at our social events throughout the weekend, including the Welcome Reception on Thursday evening, the Exhibitors’ Reception and Family Fun Night on Friday, and the President’s Reception and Optometry's Night of Celebration on Saturday evening.
A special thank you goes to our meeting sponsors for their generous support. We are grateful to SECO International for supporting in part our continuing education program, Johnson & Johnson, Bausch + Lomb, Apellis, Keenova, Orasis Pharmaceuticals and VSP for sponsoring some of our meals and events. We also extend our sincere appreciation to all of our GOA Double Diamond, Diamond and Silver Partners whose continued generosity helps make GOA’s success and growth possible.
I would also like to personally thank the GOA Office, Bryan Markowitz, Vanessa Grosso, and Diane Hamby for all of their hard work and dedication throughout the year and in preparation of this meeting.
I look forward to spending time with all of you and making this year’s conference a memorable one!
Sincerely,
Frank Winski, O.D.
President, Georgia Optometric Association
