WISH TO RENEW? Here is an Invitation to Attend a meeting of Your Choice To welcome you back to the organization, the POS is inviting you, as a guest of the Society, to attend one monthly meeting of your choice. Meetings are held September through February. This invitation is extended to members who have let their membership lapse for 2+ years or to those that have never been a member. At each monthly meeting, we invite distinguished guest faculty from around the country representing varied sub-specialties to present lectures and participate in Grand Rounds. Our meetings provide an excellent opportunity to engage in a smaller group setting with the invited speakers and fellow POS members in a relaxed setting. Social time is always built into our meetings for the opportunity to meet and get to know one another. CME credit is provided. We are fortunate as an organization to serve a vibrant greater ophthalmology community here in Pittsburgh and welcome your return as an integral part of that community.
