James Chung: Hey everyone, you've probably heard of AOA+ and wondered what even is it, so I'm here to talk to you about it. AOA+ is all about expanding your professional network and developing your leadership skills. This year, there's gonna be a student-focused track, so you can take full advantage of being a student and a future clinician. The Leadership Lab takes you from clinic to the capital to fight and advocate for our profession. The Career Hub expands your network, and really helps you develop the job- hunting skills that we all need so desperately. And there's something so exciting, there's gonna be a reimagined optometry student competition that I can't really say a lot about because it's all so secretive right now, but you are gonna be so excited when you see it in person. The best part is. AOA is giving you a travel grant, so take full advantage of that and experience it all at AOA+ in Phoenix in 2026. We're expecting thousands to be in Phoenix, and that includes you, so I'll see you guys there.
