For Political Education

KOCPE is opticianrys state political
advocate
The Kentucky Opticians Committee for political education is a voluntary,
non-partisan political organization, established in accordance with the State Election
Campaign Act. KOCPE assists the Society of Dispensing Opticians of Kentucky, Its members
and other opticians and contact lens fitters in gaining access and voicing collective
concerns to key state legislators. It is the responsibility of the SDOK to represent
opticianry's interests to members of the legislature and the key committees on which they
serve. |

KOCPE is a separate entity established to identify
well-qualified candidates for public office to assist their campaigns. KOCPE membership
enables opticians to work together in support of candidates who are sympathetic to our
issues and basic views. Such collective strength allows opticianry to win new supporters
and help such friends return to public office. Members contributing to KOCPE are
encouraged to share individual opinions of legislators with the Board. Call the SDOK at
(606) 273-6469 if you have someone for the Board to consider.
| No contribution is too small. It is imperative that
state legislators be educated about dispensing opticians and the dispensing services
provided to Kentucky health program beneficiaries. Each bit of progress opticians can make
to introduce themselves is a step in the right direction. (Most legislators still think
opticians and optometrists are the same.) Think of your PAC donation as an investment in
the future of opticianry. Every little bit helps! Please make checks payable to KOCPE
*State election law permits individuals to contribute
from their personal account to KOCPE. No contributions can be accepted from an
incorporated firm. Any check written on a corporate account must be returned to the donor. |
