Communications and Advocacy

The Communications and Advocacy team at the American Optometric Association focuses on promoting the interests of optometrists through strategic communication and policy influence. This team develops messaging that highlights the value of optometry, advocates for favorable legislation and regulations at the federal level, and educates both members and the public about eye health and vision care issues. By fostering collaboration with stakeholders and leveraging research, the team ensures the voice of the optometric profession is effectively represented in key discussions and decision-making processes.
