This position is within the Department of Aging and Disability Services, but it is NOT in the BESB bureau. Rather, it is within the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services, which serves residents with disabilities not specific to blindness. This appears to be an important and impactful job. I have copied Cheryl Cepelak (as a blind carbon copy—yes, that’s the term—to consider her privacy If she wishes), who is still serving as the interim director of BESB, and I invite her to let us know if I have misunderstood anything about this important position.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Additionally, the position raises important questions that Beth (while Maryanne is on leave hopefully recovering well from her surgery) and I are working to get answers to.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I would like, again, to stress the importance of this job.
