Do we have the opportunity to recommend a candidate for this position? Just curious if there is an opportunity here to make things work out in our favor?

With some sadness, I announced at our Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Services (GVRS) Board meeting that I will be leaving the agency at the end of the month to accept a new opportunity with Deloitte. While this new chapter is somewhat bittersweet, I am encouraged by the strides we have made as an organization in the past fifteen months. Personally and professionally, change is never easy, but it is essential to progress.

Today, I can confidently say I believe GVRA is significantly closer to being the kind of agency our clients deserve. We stood up administrative functions that operate with more efficiency and customer-focus. Many of our community partners have expressed restored faith because of our forward momentum. We also have a vision for program improvements that will create an improved experience for the people we are tasked with serving.

I thank all of you who have remained committed to the goal of a better GVRA. Please continue to keep the agency’s truly noble mission in mind in all you do.

* GVRA Executive Director*

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.
