[NFBA-Phoenix] Want to create change for employment opportunities as it relates to blindness? Then you better show up and have your voice heard

[Tanner Gers]

The subject line says it all. And, this is a topic that is very important to
me personally. There is a ton of things that I am currently working on
behind the scenes, here locally, as well as nationally, that are creating
employment opportunities, making job boards accessible, and paying
individuals, who happen to be blind, to do a job that makes a difference.

I know the people who truly care, the leaders of our chapter, and our
affiliate, who want to work, will be there. Assuming you're not already
working and have a job. The NFB is about business, and this is business you
want to be involved in.

Because it could put you in a business making the money you're worth.

In transparency, one of the things I'm doing that you may not know about, in
regards to creating employment opportunities, is I serve on the Arizona
Governor's Council for blindness and visual impairment, serving on the
employment committee.
