VISAbilities – Celebrating Our Abilities

We will pull Leslie Spoone away from the ACB Summer Auction for a few minutes to give us an update on the Auction taking place tonight and tomorrow. Then, for the main event! Our June “ACB Man of the Month” is someone many of us call mentor, debater, but most of all FRIEND.  Since his first ACB Convention, he has worn many hats including Resolutions Committee Chair, Affiliate President, Board of Publications, Board of Directors, ACB National President, ACB Media Host, and  a myriad of other positions, Paul Edwards has been a leader at some of the most dynamic times in this organization’s history and continues to be today. But there is so much more in Paul’s background as a father, spouse, teacher, community activist.  The list goes on.  Please join me to learn the enormous role he has played in the building of ACB.  Everyone is always welcome!

For more than 20 years, Michael Smitherman has never failed to impress ACB convention goers with outstanding Exhibit Halls filled with both new products and services and classic stand-bys we have come to rely on.  Everything from cosmetics to computers, from braille notetakers to braille jewelry. And now, in these days of combined hybrid and in-person gatherings, Michael has done it again!  Be among the first to hear details of this year’s exhibits and exhibitors.  We will also talk about what’s involved in being an exhibitor, and how it all comes together under his guidance. We might even get him to tell us about some of the new offerings we can look forward to this summer in Omaha.  Bring your questions and be ready to take notes. This is a call you won’t want to miss!

Come learn and bring your questions. As always, everyone is welcome to join the conversation.
