Thanks for your renewal, and your patience! 

OANJ Membership is climbing again and it comes at a great time as more voices are needed to promote OANJ's advocacy goals that protect practice and a professional pay scale for licensed opticians. Our renewal system has worked well, but some renewing and new members experienced a 'glitch' caused by the timing of their payments. The issue is resolved and those impacted were notified. If we missed anyone and your invoice indicates a December 2019 expiration date, please know that your record has the correct date and your membership is current through December 31, 2020. If you need a corrected invoice, please contact the OANJ Office at 609-695-0030. We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your support and patience. 

If you still have yet to renew -please do so as soon as possible. You can easily renew online by logging into the OANJ website or contacting the office. Renew today and encourage your colleagues to do so as well. We need every voice in these challenging times.
