I have also spoken with Mr. Anil Lewis, Executive Director, Jernigan

discussions for some leadership on how to move forward with this issue, he
is trying to make it on the call.

 

We will also hopefully have Debbie Baker and Aleeha Dudley, who had issues

We also look to answer questions about our New York State Experience Trip.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
