30 years ago, Annette Lutz
entered the Business
Enterprise (BE) Program as a
single mother on public
assistance seeking stability
and a better future for her
daughter. She began as a
cashier, enrolled in BE
training, became a licensed
operator, and built a long,
successful career as an
entrepreneur who is blind.
Annette often says the
program \u201cchanged her life,\u201d
giving her independence,
confidence, and pride in her
work.</p>

style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 15px; margin: 0;">Over
the years, Annette has grown
into a respected business
owner with strong technical
knowledge, exceptional
customer service skills, and
a statewide and national
network of fellow
entrepreneurs who are blind.
She is also a passionate
advocate for the
program\u2014serving in
leadership roles, mentoring
peers, and helping shape the
future for the next
generation of BE Operators.
Annette credits OOD\u2019s
partnership for supporting
her from the very beginning
and throughout every stage
of her career.</p>

Annette is currently
operating the revamped
Madison County rest area,
she views this assignment as
just a small part of her
larger story. She continues
to use every opportunity to
refine her business
approach, support fellow
Operators, and highlight the
value and professionalism
that blind entrepreneurs
bring to Ohio\u2019s travel

year adds special
significance to Annette\u2019s
story as the nation
celebrates the 90<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of the
Randolph\u2011Sheppard Act.
Signed into law on June 20,
1936, the Act granted
priority to entrepreneurs
who are legally blind to
operate vending facilities
on federal property\u2014opening
doors to stable employment
and economic independence at
a time when opportunities
were extremely limited.
Major expansions in 1954 and
1974 broadened the scope of
the program from simple
vending stands to include
cafeterias, snack bars, and
full vending routes, laying
the foundation for today\u2019s
nationwide network of
blind\u2011owned businesses.</p>

<p
style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 15px; margin: 0;">For
generations, including
Annette\u2019s, the
Randolph\u2011Sheppard Act has
created meaningful pathways
to entrepreneurship,
financial security, and
leadership. Its impact
continues to define the
Business Enterprise Program
today\u2014and Annette\u2019s story
stands as one of the many
powerful examples of what is
possible when opportunity
meets determination.</p>
