Minerva Maldonado, ABOC, NCLEC, LDO in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and Certified CE Speaker. As a Licensed Dispensing Optician with over six years of optical and education experience, I have held multiple roles over the last 10 years. I have notable accomplishments in Opticianry and am constantly furthering my experiences. As a passionate learner and supporter of the eye care industry, I work to promote Opticians by being involved on a state and national level. Currently, on the national level I am involved with the Opticians Association of America (OAA) on their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee and for their non-profit branch the Vision of Hope as one of their Board of Directors. In addition, I am the scholarship chair for the Vision of Hope's Russell Fritz Sr. scholarship. On a state level, as a member of the Board of the Society of Connecticut Opticians, and the advisory committee of the Ophthalmic Design and Dispense Program at Connecticut State Community College. I have excelled as a speaker and optician. In 2023 I was accepted to the Vision Council's Emerging Optical Leaders program. I received the Optician of the Year from my state society and my previous employer in the same year of 2022 for my commitment to Opticianry. Also, I was the winner of Iot's Next Top Speaker 2022 and continue to look forward to my future speaking career.
