He has kept his promise in building  the  Florida Affiliate, and we as a board has followed his footsteps on finding ways to build stronger chapters, divisions, and relations with stakeholders so we can have a seat at the table to ensure our philosophy and our knowledge as blind people are imbedded in the fabric of society.

Why not everyone we come in contact with. As we travel throughout  the State of Florida, let’s spread our philosophy and demonstrate to all that we as blind people are living the life we want; are breaking barriers to raise expectations; are actively participating in the efforts of the national Federation of the blind.
