MOA Legislative Conference – January 11
PLAN TO ATTEND TO START 2016
The annual MOA legislative conference will be
held on January 11, 2016 at the Capitol Plaza
Hotel in Jefferson City. . This is an important
event each year and this year is no
different. There are a lot of forces trying to
control optometry and it is important that we
understand the legislative process and get to
know our legislators. As we do each year, we
will go to the Capitol Building in the afternoon
to deliver cinnamon rolls to the legislators.
We would like to have a great SLOS turnout,
but if you cannot come all day, it would be
great to see a lot of docs there for the lunch
events through the Legislative reception.
The full schedule is listed below. For more
information and to register, go to
