The OAM prides its work in uniting opticians, both here at home in Massachusetts and around the country. Here are just a few of our recent efforts to bring opticians together and advance our profession and our own professional growth. Please join us in the effort to bring opticians together!!

The OAM is proud to be an affiliate state member of the Opticians Association of America... $25 of each OAM membership goes to the OAA.
As an OAA state affiliate, the OAM shares its successful programs serving as a model of other state and national associations
The OAM has formed ONE, Opticians of New England, where state associations from NH, RI, CT, VT and MA share resources, ideas and offer all forms of organizational support.
The OAM has developed a national “adopt-a-state” program where OAA affiliate states work with non-member states in an effort to unite all state associations with the OAA.
The OAM in September 2010 was the first state association to offer to its members a live video broadcast from the National Opticians meeting in Cincinnati. The OAM proposal to the national meeting committee was met with great enthusiasm and the success of the beta test will allow states from all over the country to be able to participate in the national meeting from their own states.
The OAM Annual Golf Tourney unites opticians in a fun golfing event in which 100% of the proceeds support student scholarships for our future opticians.
