“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.
"Do you dare to be remarkable? The question makes it sound much harder than it is," President Riccobono said. "It is a choice: a choice to be blind-centered, a choice to challenge your own assumptions, and a choice to evolve in your own professional practices regardless of how many decades of experience you have behind you."
In honor of #NDEAM, we are highlighting President Riccobono's opening keynote address at our Dare to Be Remarkable Conference.
