This past weekend, the California Optometric Association (COA) hosted their annual House of Delegates back in-person for the first time since the pandemic started! It was a meeting to hear reports about COA’s accomplishments this past year, goals moving forward, and to vote for the next board! On top of that, our school’s very own faculty & students got recognized with awards.
