President’s Welcome

I just wanted to take a moment to formally introduce myself. My name is Cassandra "Cassie" Hains, and I am proud and excited to be the new President of the Opticians Association of Massachusetts.

About Me
I started in the eyecare industry in 2014 as a optometric technician. In 2016, I transitioned into an apprenticeship role and started my opticianry journey. I became licensed in 2019 and have worked in both private practice and corporate environments. I have been on the OAM board of directors since 2019, served as Secretary from 2021-23 and Vice President for the last year.

My Goals
As President, my goal is to uphold the Mission Statement of the OAM: to advance the knowledge, skills, and expertise of opticians through education, leadership, and legislative representation. Additionally, I will focus on building up our future opticians. As an apprenticed optician, I fully understand the importance of preparing our future opticians for success.  

I look forward to these next two years as my opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our profession.

Let’s Connect!
I am interested in getting to know our members and understanding your goals for the Opticians Association of Massachusetts. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions and comments at oampres@gmail.com.

Thank you for the opportunity,

Sincerely,

Cassie Hains
President
Opticians Association of Massachusetts
