Program

Date: Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Time: 2:00 PM, 19:00 GMT

Are you familiar with the Randolph Sheppard Act? Under it, state rehabilitation
agencies recruit, train, license and place blind individuals as operators of
vending facilities located on federal properties. Would you like to learn more
about this program and the opportunities that it can provide blind
entrepreneurs?

Join Seminars at Hadley as Kevan Worley, executive director of the National
Association of Blind Merchants, discusses the opportunities the Randolph
Sheppard Act presents, how to get started in the program and tips for success.

Larry Muffett, a member of Hadley’s Seminars team, will moderate this 60-minute
seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.

Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are

Are you a blind or visually impaired new parent, longtime parent, soon to be a

questions arise.

parenting blind. Panelists Tom Babinszki, Sharon Howerton, Sue Melrose and Vicky

questions of their own. Bring yours to this open 90-minute discussion!

along in advance to feedback at hadley.edu.
