Seventeen Active People Who Lead the National Federation of the Blind

The burden of the pandemic has fallen hard on all of us, but seventeen people in particular have been charged with coming up with policies that will help the National Federation of the Blind continue to do all of our regular business and to take on the special challenges that COVID-19 presents. Our Board of Directors has learned a lot about the coronavirus and has contributed perspectives from throughout the country as each member watches their local and state officials struggle with the challenges. But these seventeen people had to do more than collect information; they had to synthesize and act upon it in the best interest of all of us. It is for them that we give this special shout-out and honor them by dedicating this issue in recognition of the people they are, all that they do, and the tremendous responsibility they take foreseeing that we continue to be the leading force and work with the blind in the United States.
