MOA Mission & Vision

I want to thank everyone for attending our recent Town Halls.  I believe we have a good process in place for dealing with the issue of Board Certification.  I want to remind everyone to keep in mind that the Optometry Students and new graduates are the future of our profession.

Lastly, when the MOA deals with any issue, especially a difficult one like Board Certification we must be directed by our Mission:

MOA Mission Statement: The mission of the MOA is to promote the highest quality eye and vision care to the citizens and diverse communities of the state of Maryland; to support and advance the profession of optometry through advocacy, professional development and public awareness; to serve as a resource for our patients and members; and to provide public health services as an integral part of the health care system.
Adopted May 20, 2008 by MOA Board.

MOA Vision Statement: The MOA will be a model professional support organization for our members and the diverse communities that we serve. The MOA will promote and preserve the highest quality, eye and vision care, and foster future leaders in society.
Adopted May 20, 2008 by MOA Board.

I will see everyone in June for the convention at the Gaylord National.
