The little things, can have the biggest impact. Catching some midweek morning miles 🚴ahead of the VOA Annual Conference, reflecting on the profound impact the VIRGINIA OPTOMETRIC ASSOCIATION INC , state associations across the nation, and the American Optometric Association have had advancing patient care and access to care, through advocacy for patients, providers, and communities. Currently a dozen states have advanced scope of optometric care signed into the legislature (including Virginia!👁️), with a dozen more on the immediate horizon, and many more to follow. As a native of Louisiana, which saw expansion of optometric scope of care signed into law in 2014, I can attest to the absolute “win-win-win” for all stakeholders! And, the efforts of the Optometry Association Of Louisiana to make it happen, the culmination of years of progress. Afterall, it’s the little things, compounded over time, that generate big results!🚀 ***** What’s one of those subtle changes in your business, project or pursuit that unleashed the next level of progress or growth? (And if you’re heading to the VOA May 30-June 1, OAL June 7-9, or Optometry’s Meeting June 19-22 come on by the Akrinos, LLC booth!) #midweekmorningmiles #businessbuilder #eyesoftheworld
