Thank You to Our Federal Partners

NCSAB extends our sincere thanks to Diana Diaz, Acting OSERS Assistant Secretary Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and Christopher Pope, Acting RSA Commissioner, for joining the NCSAB Executive Strategic Planning Meeting. The Executive Team opened the planning meeting by hearing from our federal partners!

We are grateful for their continued leadership, collaboration, and vision in advancing the mission of vocational rehabilitation, especially for individuals who are blind and visually impaired.

Together, we are moving forward with shared priorities:

1. Celebrating and sharing success stories of clients, including those with co-occurring disabilities, who achieve competitive integrated employment.
2. Advancing employment choice of our clients to pursue career paths through informed decision making, supportive environments, and continuous access to VR’s comprehensive services.
3. Expanding meaningful self-employment pathways that reflect the talent and potential of our clients.

We are energized by the momentum and look forward to all that lies ahead—more great things to come!
