President of the NFB of Ohio and President of the NFB of Ohio’s Cleveland
Chapter and Sabrina Simmons, 2d Vice President of the NFB of Michigan and

leadership in our movement. What brought them to the Federation and what
are their contributions to our organization? How have they successfully
led their affiliates and chapters? How do they balance their
competing roles such as work, wife and mother and involvement in the
Federation and their communities? Who are some of their role
models?<br><br>
All are welcome to participate in this celebration of women in the civil
rights movement of blind people.<br>
