When is the Big Annual Meeting of the Board held?

The Big Annual Meeting of the Board is held every October in Montgomery because this timing allows for the most comprehensive gathering of professionals in the optometric field, coinciding with the academic calendar and ensuring that practitioners can attend after the busier summer months. This scheduling also provides ample opportunity for members to engage in continuing education, discuss important legislative issues, and connect with peers, making it an essential event for networking and professional development within the optometry community in Alabama. The choice of Montgomery, being a central location, further facilitates attendance for members from various regions of the state.
