The Optical Women’s Association (OWA) announces an OWA Global Event at MIDO in Milan, as expansion plans continue to reach out to women in the optical industry internationally.

Women are invited to “Breaking Optical Barriers: Women Who Conquered the Climb to Success”, a powerhouse panel of accomplished executive leaders facilitated by OWA Vice President, Megan Molony.

Graciously sponsored by MIDO, this event will kick off with an introduction from Lorraine Berton, President of ANFAO and MIDO, followed by a panel including Malika Azrine-Bouferquene (EssilorLuxottica), Barbara Salimbeni (Marchon Eyewear), and Sara Osculati (Thelios), who will share insights into their journeys to the top.
