Strategic Plan

The International Orthoptic Association (IOA) requires a strategic plan to achieve its mission and vision. The plan covers five program areas: International Cooperation, Education and Research, Standards and Quality, Promotion and Development, and Operations Management. Initiatives include growing the Volunteer Program, establishing partnerships, promoting the orthoptic profession, supporting research and education, and maintaining governance standards. Agenda items include updating documents, creating committees, scheduling meetings, reviewing membership status, and monitoring the website. The strategic plan ensures collaboration, resource allocation, and accountability for IOA’s goals, promoting orthoptics globally and advancing the profession through education, research, and quality standards. The IOA strategic plan 2023-2027 was approved by the Council of Management on April 21, 2023.
