Braille Certification Training Program

Under a contract with the National Library Service for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress (NLS), the National Federation
of the Blind administers the courses leading to NLS certification of Braille
transcribers and proofreaders. Successful completion of these rigorous
courses requires a great deal of time and effort on the part of the
students. We congratulate the following individuals who earned certification
during the months of September to November 2014:


 


 


Virginia


Jodie Elizabeth Brown, Troy    

Kimberly J. Carmichael, Richmond    

Kirsten Ann Olsen, Troy    

Robin Long Sigmon, Troy    

 

Thank you and congratulations!

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.
