Call to Action: Lateefah Simon Support

Calling all members of ACCCOS!

We have an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of optometry in our community. Dr. Page Yarwood, past COA president, is hosting an afternoon supporting a candidate who values optometry - Lateefah Simon, running for Congress in the 12th district. 

Lateefah Simon's unique perspective as someone who is legally blind gives her an unparalleled insight into the world of vision care. She recognizes the significance of optometry and its role in enhancing lives and is committed to championing our profession.

As optometrists, we know that legislative support is essential to expand our scope of practice. Lateefah Simon stands with us in recognizing the legislated progression of optometry. By attending this event, we can show her our support and, in turn, help secure a brighter future for our profession.

Let's unite and show up in force to back a candidate who genuinely understands and supports our aspirations. Your presence can make a difference!

Date: September 10th

Time: 3-4:30pm

Location: Oakland, CA (exact location will be provided with RSVP)
