And, BTW, I'm presenting my favourite workshop, MCE on a Budget (explains in detail the mechanics and means to develop study groups). and, thanx for the web content info- I see several things I'm going to get onto our website! And I'll be certain to credit all as appropriate.
Harry Chilingueria : Oh and Cindy if you guys are doing the virtual convention please send me a link so Icould check out who you got this year as I would be real interested.
Harry Chilingueria : Cindy K, no protocal for using the content from this site, but the images are from NIH, which does require a reference back to them, just do a Google search for NEI at NIH and check out their resources. The simulators are from Alcon and they have said as long as it's for a non profit or educational they are fine to use. The posts and content are mostly written by me and compiled from various sources, you are free to use them to your hearts content.
Cindy K : What is the protocol here for using material from this site on our association website? Please advise

State Licensure (PA, TX)

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

It is appaling to see that opticians can and often do educate themselves out of jobs. This trend seems to be enforced by our industry to help line pockets with profit instead of provide quality service to the public. The goal for this petition is to create yet another effective tool to highlight the state of affairs, we need 5000 signatures to meet our goal please do your part and spread the word. To those in unlicensed states please contact me to create a similar petition and promote it here and formulate a nationwide plan.

Pennsylvania Petition:
