Vision Council announces new EVP
The Vision Council announced the promotion of Greg Chavez to executive vice president, operations and membership, according to a press release.
He has been with the Vision Council for 13 years and began as director of member services in 2003, transitioning to vice president of member services in 2006.
Chavez has facilitated the organization’s growth from 80 member companies to more than 750.

He has also overseen the membership integration of six separate organizational mergers, according to the release.
Chavez repurposed the organization’s Government and Regulatory Affairs programs to clearly focus on the business needs and interests of the wholesale supply side of the optical industry, the group said.
