FROM THE DESK OF<br />
PRESIDENT<br />
Glenn Morris<br />
Dear NAO Members,<br />
Happy holidays to you all! As I write this<br />
letter, I am currently making preparations<br />
for Thanksgiving. By the time you read<br />
this letter, we will all be forming our plans<br />
for New Year’s Eve! Whether you choose<br />
to celebrate with family, friends, or alone;<br />
at dinners, parties, or a quiet night, we<br />
hope that this holiday season brought you<br />
joy, relaxation, and an exciting outlook<br />
towards 2026!<br />
The NAO already has some amazing<br />
events in the pipeline for the upcoming<br />
year. In January, we will have our Annual<br />
Winter Board of Directors meeting.<br />
Eight committees, comprised of some of<br />
opticianry’s finest professionals, will meet<br />
to ensure that we are continuing to serve<br />
