2007 Distinguished Service Award

State Ophthalmology Society Legislative Committee Chairs

The American Academy of Ophthalmology is pleased to honor State Ophthalmology Society Legislative Committee Chairs as Distinguished Service Award recipients at the 2007 Annual Meeting. The collective advocacy efforts made by these Eye M.D.s across the country have benefited the entire profession of ophthalmology and have greatly improved the ability of our Secretariat for State Affairs members to collaborate with states on legislative and regulatory efforts. The dedication and ongoing commitment that State Society Legislative Chairs have demonstrated should be recognized by each and every ophthalmologist in the country. They deserve our recognition and sincere thanks, and we feel extremely fortunate to have them on Ophthalmology’s team.

It is with great appreciation and respect that we welcome and honor the following State Ophthalmology Society Legislative Committee Chairs as 2007 Distinguished Service Award recipients:
