A Message From Your Lobbyist...
The Plenty Of Fish dating website is popular in the UK, USA, Canada and a few other countries that becomes obvious when POF servers go down or experience sign in issues. The website creates. Event Hosts can still create and promote events while we work on a new and improved event creation service for you.” The POF forums were an active destination for digital daters for 15 years. Users created more than 10 million posts before the closure, covering a broad spectrum of topics including dating, love, relationships, marriage. We DO NOT recommend waiting for the last minute as CE Broker is experiencing many glitches, especially for those who are Board Certified. We have been working closely with the Board office and CE broker so they may resolve this issue. Please call the POF office at 850-201-2622 if you need any assistance.
I am honored to represent the Professional Opticians ofFlorida as your lobbyist in Tallahassee. I’ve been involved in the Legislativeprocess now for over 33 years. I served for nine years in the Florida House ofRepresentatives and then 11 years in the Florida Senate, and, after therequired two years of retirement from the Legislature, I’ve been back up inTallahassee lobbying.
Working the Legislature is a year-round task. It’s easierto find time to meet with legislators before Session and Committee Meetingsthan during it. Members and Officers of the POF make contributions to ourPolitical Committee, and we participate in fundraisers for the LegislativeLeadership of both chambers and both parties... I believe that the POF has hadbetter direct contact with Legislative Leadership recently than in the past.They may not always agree with us, but at least they know who we are.
In the 2020 Legislative Session, bills were filed thatwould have “sunsetted” (deregulated) many professions, including opticianry. Wewere able to get promises from the bill sponsors that the language aboutopticians would be removed if they pursued the bills. When legislatures refiledthe bills for the 2021 Session, they were refiled without sunsetting opticianryat all.
I hope that POF members will continue to make politicalcontributions to the Opticians for Better Vision Political Committee and willbe available to write and email your legislators when we need your voices. Ilook forward to working with you again next year.
