>> Johnnie Slaton, a senior rehabilitation specialist with the Division of Blind Services, began her career with the department in March 1999 in the Office of Education Technology prior to moving to blind services in 2003. Johnnie was a very active advocate for people who are blind and visually impaired and served as the president of the Tallahassee Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Florida. In that role as a community leader, Mayor John Marks presented Johnnie with a proclamation recognizing October as “Meet the Blind Month” during the October 2013 Tallahassee City Commission Meeting. She previously served for eight years as a teacher in Leon County and 16 years prior to moving to Florida. Johnnie will be missed not only by her family and colleagues but also by the Tallahassee community. Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

>> Sincerely,
>> Pam Stewart
