United States Secretary of Labor to Address Blind Americans


R. Alexander Acosta to Speak at National Federation of the Blind National
Convention in Orlando

Baltimore, Maryland (July 6, 2017): The Honorable R. Alexander Acosta,
Secretary, United States Department of Labor, will address the annual
convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Orlando on the
afternoon of Friday, July 14, at approximately 2:55 p.m. His topic will be
"Building the Twenty-First Century American Workforce: Disability Does Not
Define Your Employment."

"The low expectations that society has of blind people, as well as
inaccessible workplace technology and other factors, still make finding and
retaining meaningful employment one of our primary challenges," said Mark A.
Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "We are
delighted that Secretary Acosta is coming to our convention to share the
administration's thoughts on this topic with the members of America's
leading organization of blind people."

About the National Federation of the Blind

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.
