From the Secretary’s Desk

Respected Members of APOS,
Thank you for electing the entire team of APOS Executive Committee for the period of 2022-25 unanimously. This is the first time the constitution of managing committee of APOS was completed in the general body as per the amended by-laws of APOS. Now the managing committee representation is well balanced both region wise and private and teaching sector wise. Congratulation to the entire new team.
Membership strength is progressing at a steady pace and crossed 1500 mark and we will try to live up to the expectations of this large growing organisation. There are many more Ophthalmology practitioners and post graduates who are not members of our society as well as All India Ophthalmology Society(AIOS) please motivate them to become as members and encourage them to participate in all the society programs.
The members profile data needs to be updated at regular intervals and we request the managing committee members to take up this responsibility and complete it on a time bound program. The website will be completely updated including the installation of an app in the mobile phones for the convenience of the user members. Apart from mobile and Email communication we are planning to use whatApp business professional account for fast and effective communication.
