OSA Local Sections

The first OSA Local Section was established in 1916 in Rochester, New York (USA). Today, there are thousands of individual section members located in OSA Local Sections around the world.

OSA’s national organization supports sections through activity grants, awards, publications, guest lecturer programs, leadership training, year-round networking opportunities, and more. View a listing of section benefits here.

If there is an OSA Local Section in your vicinity we encourage you to become an active member. If your area does not yet have a section, we invite you to establish one.
