<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Job Seekers,</div><div><br></div><div>Just a short time ago, some job vacancies at Vision Loss Resources (VLR) and DeafBlind Services Minnesota were posted to this list. In the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to share the following information with you:</div><div><br></div><div>The posting was made by one of our list members, who got it from Minnesota State Services for the Blind.
Our list members are welcome to post job vacancies they hear of.
VLR did not ask us to post it, <br></div><div><br></div><div>VLR, formerly the Minneapolis Society for the Blind, is the main competitor of our NFB Training Center, BLIND, Inc.in MInneapolis. If you decide to go to work for them, you will be competing against BLIND, Inc. The competition is not a friendly one. They have employed one local NFB chapter member in the past. VLR is a traditional blindness agency that does not subscribe to the structured discovery method of learning. Their philosophy is pretty much aligned with the ACB, If you are an ACB member, you might like working there. If you are an NFB member, you might find it awkward. <br></div><div><br></div><div>DeafBlind Services Minnesota is a subsidiary of Vision Loss Resources, but seems to operate with a degree of autonomy. I think they are respected by local deafblind people, but I cannot say that for sure. They started out as a separate organization with a separate culture. I don't think they are anti-NFB, at least not overtly so. <br></div><div><br></div><div>
I think both organizations are hiring so many people because they laid off many staff during Covid-19.
</div><div><br></div><div>I believe the above information is both fair and accurate. While we cannot vet every employer posted by our list members, we will let you know what we know about them. You can then make your own decisions about where to apply, just like any other job seeker. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes, <br></div><div>Dick Davis <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 15, 2021 at 4:06 PM Andrews, David B (DEED) via Job-Listings <<a href="mailto:job-listings@nfbnet.org">job-listings@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
