“The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind is to serve as a vehicle for collective action by the blind,” President Riccobono said.

As we close out National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we reaffirm our core purpose and strengthen our advocacy to promote the vocational, cultural, and social advancement of the blind.
