GOA Districts

District Map

Local Districts are an important part of being an optometrist in Georgia. They provide optometrists with the opportunity to:

  1. Catch up on the latest society news and happenings.
  2. Get convenient continuing education on interesting and pertinent topics.
  3. Connect with your peers in the local area.

If you're interested in attending a monthly meeting at your local district, contact your Local District President. The GOA office can put you in touch with your district representatives. Contact us today at [email protected]
