Applications open for new student rep on CAO Council
Application deadline: Friday, May 17, 2024
CAO Council Student Representative
The CAO Council has an optometrist representative from each of the ten provinces, allowing us to share ideas and challenges and determine areas where we can support and learn from each other. There is also a student representative on Council to strengthen our understanding of and connection with optometry students so we can better support them on their career path.
We are currently accepting applications for the new student rep for CAO Council. This role has the rep attending Council meetings and the AGM, and serving as a voice for all optometry students for a one-year term.
