Thank you Jonathan!  You have great insight and as I witnessed in Texas, you are a great leader!  I am confident in the forward and upward movement of the division.  You are correct, I will be, always, a member of the division and available for anyone who may need me for whatever reason.

Thank you for your kind words to me and Candice!
Merry

Hello Merry and all,
Over the past year and a half, it has truly been an honor to get to know you and work with you on this Board for the past 6 months. I know that I can call you a true friend and mentor. Your passion and leadership has further inspired me to continue my path into becoming an LCSW and a stronger Federationist. I fully appreciate your friendship and respect you have shown me. I know that although you will be stepping down as our President, you will continue to have a strong lasting presence in our division and I look forward to what you have next in store.

I also have strong faith in Candice as your successor. She is an amazing individual and I am also honored to call her a great friend.

I look forward to continuing to work with you all in this Division and organization.

Warm regards,

Jonathan Franks BSW
Secretary
National Federation of the Blind Human Services Division

The National Federation of the Blind 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.
