> Thirty Days filled with hope, inspiration, and love! Our next Community Achievers are two pillars of strength. Meet Daphne Mitchell & Marci Carpenter!

> It’s a wonderful thing, this technology that we use. It does not require ink. If we had to use old faithful, pen and paper to describe these two beautiful ladies, there would be a significant ink shortage! They are equally and individually bright, educated, reliable, brave, independent, resilient women that push community service beyond its boundaries.
> 
> Daphne manages vocational rehabilitation field services for the New Mexico Commission for the Blind. She also serves on the board of directors for the NFB of New Mexico, is the secretary of the Louisiana Center for the Blind Board of Directors, and actively participates in and supports various efforts to advance marginalized and minority populations. Ethical principles, equity, fidelity, integrity, and justice are the core values that guide Daphne's personal and professional decisions.
> 
> Our second pillar has been a proud member of the Federation since joining in 1981 as a student. Currently, Marci serves as president of the Washington affiliate and is one of the National Board members. She also serves on the board of trustees of the state school for the blind and has helped blind youth and adults learn self-advocacy. Marci lives life with intentionality and sincerity. She cares deeply about creating space for people to heal and grow.
> 
> These impressive, hard-working women demonstrate and exemplify what it means to be blind. They have empowered young and old, men and women throughout this nation, to live the lives they want!
> 
> Like Daphne and Marci, you too, can be a beacon of hope in your community!
