                I couldn't agree more with Michael's comments.  Merry is an
ethical, supportive and compassionate leader who is committed and dedicated
to the NFB, the Human Services Division and to the social work profession.
She willingly gives of her time, energy, effort and herself;
and she treats everyone she meets with the utmost dignity and respect. She
is an excellent role model and her leadership has been exemplary.

Our divisionis bigger, better and stronger because of
 what Merry has done.  Merry, I appreciate your warmth and friendship. I
know the division will move ahead with hope, determination and love.  With 
sincere thanks and
gratitude and wishing you all the best for the remainder of your presidency 
and beyond,

Mary Ann Robinson, First Vice President

Hi Merry,
I remember when I was trying to figure out just what the Human
Services Division was all about. You welcomed my phone call and helped me to
find the niche that my service needed to find. You have provided steadfast
leadership, quick and decisive action, and good friendship through the
years.
The division has grown in activity and purpose under your guidance.
I am a better Human Service Worker in part due to your involvement. Each
time that I need a question answered or need encouragement, you have made
yourself available to remind me that I walk among giants.
You have given me strength to finish my degree and promise that I
will thrive as a practitioner. You have given me the wisdom to understand
that if there is a question, there is an answer. I won't be able to forget
you because I get a daily reminder about assisting you with Social Work
Smart Brief!
I hope that you are busy with clients and are enjoying the work. I
know that we can count on you for so much, but please reach out to your list
if we can ever be of assistance to you. Thanks so much for your warm and
steady leadership

Warmly,

Rev. Michael "Big Dog" Abell

Dear Human Services division members and interested parties,

This year at our NFB national convention is the year all board positions are
up for re-election. I have made a difficult decision and am sharing with all
of you that I have decided not to run for the presidency of the division.  I
appreciate the opportunity to serve as president of the division, but mostly
I appreciate and treasure your confidence in me to lead.  Of course, I will
be around the National Federation of the Blind until I take my last breath
so please know that I am always available to help you if you need my
assistance.

Candice Chapman, who has served in a variety of leadership roles within the
Federation, is willing to serve in the capacity of President for our
division.  I believe she has the energy, spirit, and dedication to lead our
division. I have confidence in her ability to grow our membership and
support our members.

I am in great hopes you all had a holiday season full of love, peace,
comfort, and great joy.  I am wishing you all great prosperity in all areas
of your life!

Again, I appreciate you all allowing me to serve on the Human Services board
for the past six years.

With all my heartfelt love,

Merry C. Schoch, LCSW
