Governance

The Alberta Association of Optometrists is guided by a Council elected by members and supported by committees that ensure the profession’s voice is strong, accountable, and forward-looking. Through our bylaws, strategic planning, and annual reporting, we are committed to transparent governance that advances optometry in Alberta and safeguards the highest standards of patient care.

Approved by members at the Annual General Meeting on October 20, 2022, the Bylaws ensure transparency and accountability in how the AAO operates.
