Thank you for your interest in the
National Academy of Opticianry. We'd like you to know that our primary
mission is to: “provide quality education and training to ALL opticians”.
Simply through
membership, our Academy members make it possible for us to create and
distribute education and training to all opticians – members and
non-members alike! So, in order to show our appreciation to our members,
we provide that same quality education and training to you at steeply
discounted “members-only” pricing! Here
are some examples of the money members are saving:
- Reference publications at
a 45% savings
- Continuing Education
Courses at a 35% savings
- Sales on books and CEC’s,
cutting member-only discounts even deeper to a 50% savings
- Educational seminars with
a total of 80 continuing education hours at a 60% savings
Although the Academy’s primary
objective is to provide training and education, we can’t help show our
appreciation to our members by offering “members-only” services and
benefits –
- Availability to affordable
health insurance for small businesses and individuals
- NAO’s No-fee credit card
that earns points for every dollar spent
- Professional financial,
technical and legal advice as well as Hassle-Free CEC’s in the Academy’s
Newsletter
- Discounted CEs, Club
Vision Lounge privileges (free lunches and breakfasts) and NAO negotiated
room rates at our Annual Meeting at Treasure Island Hotel in conjunction
with VisionExpo West
- Avis and Hertz car rental
discounts
- Free subscriptions to
20/20 Magazine – a $260 value annually
- Free job-bank to post open
positions as well as your professional availability at www.nao.org
Truly, NAO Membership doesn’t cost…
it pays!
