BANA Holds Spring Meeting


The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) will hold its spring 
meeting in Watertown, Massachusetts, from April 9-11, 2010. This 
meeting is being hosted by the American Council of the Blind, a BANA 
member organization.

The spring meeting of the Braille Authority of North America will be 
held at the Perkins Braille and Talking Book Library. BANA sessions 
begin at 9:00 AM on Friday, April 9, and end at 12:00 noon on Sunday, 
April 11th.

Guests are welcome to attend the BANA meetings and observe the 
deliberations. Space is limited, so to reserve a seat, please contact 
BANA Chair Judith Dixon to register your desire to observe any or all 
of the BANA sessions.

The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority of North America are 
to assure literacy for tactile readers through the standardization of 
braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes and facilitates the 
use, teaching and production of braille. It publishes rules, 
interprets and renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing 
codes. It deals with codes now in existence or to be developed in the 
future, in collaboration with other countries using English braille. 
In exercising its function and authority, BANA considers the effects 
of its decisions on other existing braille codes and formats; the 
ease of production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
