Meeting held as a part of efforts to educate elected officials with jurisdiction over key federal and state issues of concern to the optical industry.

Alexandria, VA (April, 2014) – Congressman Scott Peters toured the Shamir Insight facility in San Diego, CA Wednesday, alongside Shamir Insight’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of The Vision Council Board of Directors, Raanan Naftalovich. The visit was a part of The Vision Council’s efforts to educate elected officials that represent its member companies and have jurisdiction over key federal and state issues of concern to the optical industry.

The Vision Council aimed to establish an open dialogue with Members of Congress about the economic benefits its member companies bring to their Congressional districts. The meeting comes as a follow-up from meetings held in December between The Vision Council leadership and Members of Congress on Capitol Hill.
