I would like to think the previous board for all their contribution and dedication to the national Federation of the blind of Florida. As we heard in our Keynote speaker, Norma Crosby, during our banquet, it takes a village, and I am ready for all of us to work together in this village. So, if you were nominated, or even if you were not nominated, I want to hear from you! Let’s start building our blueprints in this construction project.<br>

With warm wishes,<br>
