[Nfbv-announce] Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

[Michael Kasey]

Here is a note and announcement from Brian Miller:

 

Dear Michael,

 

I thought I would share the below announcement with the affiliate in order
to give our members the information they need to provide comments on the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) just published in the
Federal Register.  I will be one of the people responding to comments, so I
cannot address directly questions or comments of a substantive nature, but
will be happy to answer questions about the process.  

 

Thank you,

 

Brian Miller, Ph.D.

Rehabilitation Services Administration

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 have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
