This is a friendly reminder that the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will be holding an important discussion of the experiences of members who are Blind and have additional disabilities. We have scheduled this program on Sunday October 9 from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M. to celebrate blind Equality Achievement Month.

The purpose of this program is to educate members of the National Federation of the Blind and the community at large regarding the unique and diverse experiences of Blind people with additional and secondary disabilities. By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  *   Described the unique and varied ways in which additional disabilities interact with Blindness and how these interactions affect the life experiences of members of the Blind Community;
  *   Discuss how members of the National Federation of the Blind can create a hospitable and welcoming environment for members with additional disabilities; and
  *   Develop and implement policies to support Blind members of the community with additional disabilities in all aspects of chapter, affiliate, and division operations.



This discussion is moderated by Annette Anderson, Emily Kiehl, and Christopher Sabine, members of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio's Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Additional time will be available for others to share their own experiences with additional disabilities.



This discussion will take place on Sunday, October 9, 2022, in the Ohio Affiliate Zoom Room.
