The
Tennessee Dispensing
Opticians Association is the only state
association working on behalf of all
Opticians in
Tennessee.
We are the only education provider in the state
to support legislation that maintains a State Board of
Dispensing Opticians and licensing dispensing opticians.
We are the only education provider to spend money
on maintaining a lobbyist and attorney to monitor
the legislature in an effort to make sure that any new
bills that are introduced are for the good of the
optician and consumers of
Tennessee.
SPECIAL THANKS - After many
years of wonderful service Barbara Spicer has retired as
the administrative secretary of the TDOA. Our new
secretary is Mellissa Misiak. Mellissa is a former
employee of Milam's Optical Service in Nashville, TN.
Please be patient with us during this transition.
The TDOA office hours are 8am to 12pm central time
Monday
through Friday.
