> In his 2018 banquet speech, National Federation of the Blind President Mark A. Riccobono recognized and celebrated the vital contributions of blind women leaders in the National Federation of the Blind. March is Women’s History Month and we want to hear from and celebrate today’s Black women leaders in our movement. Join us to hear from strong, intelligent and dedicated women in the Federation.

> These powerful women will share their stories as they ascended to leadership in our movement. What brought them to the Federation and what are their contributions to our organization? How have they successfully led their affiliates and chapters?  How do they balance their competing roles such as work, wife and mother and involvement in the Federation and their communities? Who are some of their role models?
