> Mark A. Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: “For many years Anne Taylor has transformed the desire of blind people to participate equally in technology development into meaningful action that has advanced accessibility. I am confident that her skill, passion, and deep connection to blind people all over the country will make a tremendous difference in moving Microsoft to a high standard of built-in accessibility across all of its products and services.”

> Anne Taylor said: “The last ten plus years have been rewarding and challenging for me, and I thank my fellow members of the National Federation of the Blind for an amazing and productive period of my career. Their expertise and feedback have been and will continue to be invaluable to me in understanding accessibility from both the technical and end user perspectives. I now look forward to the challenge of using this knowledge to make Microsoft’s products the industry leaders in nonvisual accessibility.”

> 
> 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.
