WELCOME TO YOUR COA KEYPERSON HOME PAGE!
Congratulations! You're right where you need to be to help protect and advance your profession. This is where you have instant access to all the legislative action information you'll ever need. You can log in anytime to browse, do research and - at critical times during this legislative year - you'll be directed here to contact your legislators and take action on issues affecting your profession.
Click on the tabs above to learn about:
- STATE ISSUES - Read and collect information on Bills COA Sponsors or Supports; Bills COA Opposes; Bills COA is Watching; and Hot Issues - all COA-supported or opposed bills that the Legislature is scheduled to act in within the next two weeks.
- GRASSROOTS RESOURCES - Open, read, download, and print "How To" documents, like KP Checklists on specific KP activities, that will tell you everything you need to know to take action; and "White Papers," talking points, and "leave-behinds" to take with you to visit legislators.
- PAC ACTION CENTER - Learn about COA's political action voices working on your profession's behalf - what they are and what they do.
- MEDIA CENTER - Enter your home ZIP Code and you'll get a list of local media outlets with whom you can correspond directly about optometric issues.
