BALTIMORE — The Maryland Optometric Association has been recognized for outstanding achievement by the Maryland Society of Association Executives (MSAE). Marylandeyes.com was selected as the most outstanding project in the Web sites category of MSAE’s 2003 Circle of Excellence Awards program.

“MSAE’s Circle of Excellence Awards recognize Maryland-based associations for exemplary work done on behalf of their members or the community,” says MSAE President Sherry Smith. “MarylandEyes.com set a standard for which other associations should strive and can certainly be counted among Maryland’s finest.”
