Women in Optics Breakfast Sponsor

Carli Phillips, CEO of Corporate Wellbeing Hub

 The Optical Distributors and Manufacturers Association (ODMA) proudly presents the first ever Women in Optics Breakfast at ODMAFair25, sponsored by ProVision.

 The breakfast will take place on Saturday 28th June at ICC, Sydney and will feature Carli Phillips, CEO of Corporate Wellbeing Hub presenting a session on Sustaining Wellbeing.

 At ODMA we aim to reach out to all women's optical support groups and get them to attend ODMAFair and be part of a breakfast focused on addressing current topics of interest.

Whether they be related to dealing with menopause in the workplace, juggling families and careers, workplace flexibility, leveraging women's skillsets and strengths, or just enabling peers to exchange common successes and challenges.

 The plan is to help the various current smaller groups that are forming and achieving great results to have the chance to all come together and enable connections in wider circles. ProVision is an ideal partner in this event, with a fast-growing Women in Optometry groups across multiple states and a developing national platform for learning, connection, support and mentorship. 

 “The aim is that ODMA can help these various smaller groups have a means to grow and connect with each other in person annually at a major industry optical event”, said ODMA CEO, Amanda Trotman. “The objective here is that by offering our help in organising a fun breakfast event under the ODMAFair banner, that many women in optics, no matter their role, will have more opportunities for exchanging ideas, helping their businesses and teams to grow and connect, and for mentoring programs to thrive across location boundaries. The larger the group, the more connections can be made, and our approach will be to provide a great speaker, time to chat with peers, as well as researching hot topics females want to discuss.

 The event will provide a means for all attendees to exchange ideas on challenges specific to women and how the industry can leverage their talents and skills.

 We hope that this gathering will become a continued and growing feature of ODMA’s events.

The Breakfast is free to attend, however, registrations are required.
