Awards & Lectures
The Macula Society’s success is a tribute to the Founders, Officers, Chairpersons and Committee members who have given freely of their time and efforts to further the mission of the Society. The Macula Society also recognizes its many supporters, without whose contributions the Society could not be so excellent. Most important, however, to the success of the Society, has been the remarkable loyalty of its members, who present their best work at the annual meeting.
The Macula Society recognizes outstanding achievement by its members and others, through various awards and lectures, which are presented at the meeting not necessarily annually, but rather, just when a truly worthy recipient is identified.
