I am forwarding this to all of you because we really need to get a good person in this position. The current director of our agency’s Orientation and Training center is a member of the Washington Council of the Blind. The philosophy and tone in this program are a manifestation of extremely low expectations. It is almost worse than having no program at all. I am, however, very hopeful that a new director can create a much stronger program.
I would be happy to talk with anyone interested in the position.
Thanks,
Marci Carpenter, President
National Federation of the Blind of WA

The National Federation Of the blind of Washington knows that blindness is not a characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people in our dreams. You can live the life you want. Linus is not wanna hold you back.
