<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am delighted to announce that Hannah Dakan has accepted the Home Management Instructor position. Hannah is currently apprenticing with us for her rehab teaching certification through the National Blindness
Professional Certification Board. She possesses current National Certification in Unified English Braille, and completed her initial immersion training at the New Mexico Commission for the Blind’s Orientation Center. The Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico is
one of the other state-run Structured Discovery programs. Hannah has also worked at the Braille Institute in California teaching technology.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are excited for Hannah to complete her apprenticeship and take on the Home Management role this summer. Hannah mentioned that the state staff meeting in Grand Island, and spending time with the Center team
during the past three months, was instrumental in her decision to relocate to Nebraska. She was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how everyone supports and seems to genuinely like each other. Our agency’s philosophy aligns with her own. She
was planning to return to Oregon to teach Home Management after completing her apprenticeship, so I want to thank all of you for convincing her to stay in Nebraska!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hannah will officially join the Center team on Monday 4/22. While she completes her remaining apprenticeship hours, Maura will continue teaching Home Management. We appreciate Maura being with us from January
until she finishes up in July and starts graduate school. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please join me in giving a warm welcome to Hannah!
