Great Western Council of Optometry (GWCO) provides a unified collective voice for OD's

The mission of the Great Western Council of Optometry (GWCO) is to provide a unified voice for optometrists within organized optometry, facilitate communication among affiliated state associations, enhance professional development for members, and offer financial support to strengthen our member associations.

GWCO Congress brings together optometric leaders and professionals from across the western U.S. for high-quality continuing education, collaboration, and connection. Attendees gain cutting-edge clinical insight while strengthening the collective voice and future of optometry.
