Leadership Summit
2024 Leadership Summit
OWL's annual Leadership Summit is a staple in the event calendar. Our 2024 Summit, held September 26-27 in New Orleans, was an impactful, engaging two days. This important event, aimed at fostering leadership development and increased diversity within the eyecare field, brought an engaging lineup of speakers and interactive sessions that left attendees inspired and informed.
Our 2024 agenda covered many topics relevant to career advancement, including:
- Inspirational Keynotes to start each learning session off on the right track!
- Communication/Speaking Skills Development
- Keeping DEI top of mind – an interactive workshop
- The excellent networking opportunities you’ve come to expect from OWL
- The “Pat Morris Impact Session” – this year, we packed over 7000 meals for those in areas of food insecurity with "Rise Against Hunger"
We're working to prepare for our 2025 Summit and are excited to continue this program. Look out for information coming soon!
