Congratulations to our ACB Colleagues

The American Council of the Blind has just announced its new leadership, and it is my honor to congratulate Kim Charlson on her election as the new ACB President. Kim has been actively involved in ACB’s work for 30 years. Kim is also the first female president of a blindness consumer organization in the U.S., so this is quite an achievement.

I’d also like to congratulate Jeff Thom on his new role as first vice president of ACB. Jeff, of course, is on our board of trustees so I know he’s a natural leader and will do well in this position.

I look forward to working with our ACB colleagues to advance the quality of life for people who are blind or visually impaired.
