Optometry Australia has been named 2020 Asia-Pacific (APAC) Professional Association of the Year, at the fourth annual APAC Association Awards.
The award celebrates professional associations that have achieved outstanding results and acknowledges the range of initiatives that we achieved during 2020, particularly in relation to supporting our members through the Covid-19 pandemic, said Darrell Baker, president Optometry Australia.
“I am enormously proud to lead such an award-winning professional organisation. The professional team at Optometry Australia, led by CEO Lyn Brodie, is well deserving of this recognition and I encourage you to share with me our hearty congratulations,” he said.
The judging committee, consisting of worldwide senior-level association experts, examined nominee’s activities, member acquisition and engagement as well as challenges overcome during the year to advance the profession.
The win represents the third major international award that Optometry Australia has won in 2020, the other two were silver Stevie Awards for excellence in video innovation received in July.
