Mark, Dick, and Other NFB-Affiliated  Colleagues:



At long last, I am able to circulate a position for which Services for the
Blind and Vision-Impaired (SBVI), an office within the New Hampshire Bureau
of Vocational Rehabilitation, Division of Workforce Innovation, New
Hampshire Department of Education, is externally posting for recruitment.
This role, despite the position title or language in the template
announcement, is for a Deputy to my role as statewide Administrator of
Services for the Blind. I recognize that the salary is low, given the wide
range of responsibilities, but I can say that the cost of healthcare
benefits are significantly less than many employers, that there is no State
income tax, and that there are other attractive elements inherent in living
in New Hampshire, in particular, and New England in general. I’m looking
forward to identifying creative, innovative, forward-looking people, who
may be interested in helping me develop a strong/robust VR and other set of
blindness-specific programs, based on a progressive philosophical
foundation related to nonvisual functioning in the world. Please visit the
link to the position below, and reach out to me, if you have any questions,
or if I can be of any assistance in answering questions for you, or
supporting your application. Please post this opportunity widely on any and
all listservs that might include those looking for an administrative
role—with some direct service components—so that we can attract a solid
pool of candidates. This is a short window of opportunity; the recruitment
closes, for the first time, anyway, on 12/20/19. Please ignore the outdated
driver’s license language; while there, it doesn’t apply, of course. The
link below should take you to the job announcement; if you have any
challenges accessing it, please let me know:

Enjoy your weekend ahead, and please have a wonderful holiday season, in
whatever fashion that you may celebrate it.





With Kind Regards,





Daniel B Frye, JD.
