The Pennsylvania Paraoptometric Association (PPA) is now accepting nominations for the 2008 Paraoptometric of the Year. The Paraoptometric of the Year Award is given annually to the optometric assistant or technician in Pennsylvania who has made the most outstanding and worthwhile contributions to the profession of optometry, paroptometry and the general public.
The awards committee will judge the nominees’ performance based on the following criteria: service to optometry and to paraoptometric associations; public and community service; and personal endorsement. Nominees must be members of the Pennsylvania Paraoptometric Association and membership must be in good standing.
Nominations can be submitted by local paraoptometric society or local optometric society, a POA member optometrist, a PPA member, or by nominee.
