[Ohio-Talk] Thank You

[Eric Duffy]

There was a time (not so long ago) when the committees weren’t.  Appointed during a board meeting. When the board met in person regularly, There was a great deal of discussion between the President and the rest of the board regarding committee appointments. When I was President, I would often call a December meeting of the Board and go over committee appointments and other things that might have needed to be done prior to a January meeting.

I also thank those who have served. I have no problem with feed back about who I put on a committee but that is one of my jobs.

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.
