West Jersey Optometric Society (WJOS)

Local Societies are fundamental to NJSOP. Not only do they provide the opportunity to catch up on the latest Society news and happenings, they also offer members the chance to connect with their peers. Local Societies deliver convenient continuing education seminars (with discounted member rates) featuring hot topics and experienced speakers.

Not a member of NJSOP? Attend a local society meeting in your area to speak with current members about the benefits of membership.

If you’re interested in attending a monthly meeting at your local society click on the appropriate option below to view a schedule or to contact a Local Society President. Becoming involved with fellow optometrists in your community is just another way to get the most out of your NJSOP membership.

Includes Camden County and nearby parts of Gloucester and Burlington Counties.
