The Board of BANA consists of appointed representatives from 
seventeen
member organizations of braille producers, transcribers, 
teachers, and
consumers.

The mission of the Braille Authority of North America is to 
assure literacy
for tactile readers through the standardization of braille and/or 
tactile
graphics.

The purpose of BANA is to promote and to facilitate the uses, 
teaching, and
production of braille.  Pursuant to this purpose, BANA will 
promulgate rules,
make interpretations, and render opinions pertaining to braille 
codes and
guidelines for the provisions of literary and technical materials 
and
related forms and formats of embossed materials now in existence 
or to be
developed in the future for the use of blind persons in North 
America.  When
appropriate, BANA shall accomplish these activities in 
international
collaboration with countries using English braille.  In 
exercising its
function and authority, BANA shall consider the effects of its 
decisions on
other existing braille codes and guidelines, forms and formats; 
ease of
production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
