Sell Out Crowd Enjoys OpticalCEU's Spring 2012 Conference

Some 150 opticians from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island recently attended OpticalCEU's Annual Spring Seminar at The MGM Grand Hotel/Casino at Foxwoods. On the fine, April 29^th morning, they listened as Linda Conlin, Deborah Kotob, and Jean Davidson presented ABO- and NCLE-approved optical courses. They earned seven continuing education credits, which they will put towards their license requirements as well as their ABO/NCLE accreditation.  This year OpticalCEUs improved the classroom environment with more comfortable seating and improved audio-visual. This follows last year's addition of a three-course, banquet hot lunch catered by the fine chefs at the MGM Grand.
