Subject: [NFBMD-GPGC] DORS OBVS Leadership Changes

 

Friends,

I'm writing to share a couple important staffing changes in the Office of
Blindness and Vision Services (OBVS) at the Maryland Department of
Rehabilitation Services.  

 

In May, Toni March was promoted to the position of Senior Executive Director
for Planning, Operations, and Field Services.  In this role, she will be
supporting all of DORS and serves as the principal advisor and operations
manager to the Assistant Superintendent for Rehabilitation Services.  She is
also the Director of Field Services in this role.  This is the position
previously occupied by Jody Boone.  Toni has served in her role as OBVS
Director for more than a decade after having been a vocational
rehabilitation counselor  and serving in various other roles in OBVS.  

 

Tandra Hunter-Payne, who for over a decade, has served as OBVS Assistant
Director, has been promoted to the position of Director.  Tandra brings a
wealth of knowledge and experience to this role, including leadership roles
in OBVS and serving as a counselor for many years.  

 

Regards,

Ronza

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
