In case anyone is interested, DeafBlind International is holding its meeting in Ottawa very soon. My husband, Randy, and I attended DBI’s conference of the Americas a few years ago, and it was absolutely fascinating. You may want to attend the general meeting by Zoom if you are not planning to travel to Ottawa. In addition, DBI is requesting our expertise examining their material for accessibility. I don’t often promote the unpaid volunteering of our services, but in this case the reward would be rubbing shoulders briefly with world leaders in the study and promotion of DB people worldwide.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And congratulations to the new board!
