Seeking Nominations- Opportunity To Serve
Board of Service to the Blind and Visually Impaired
The Board of Service to the Blind and Visually Impaired (SBVI) has a vacant position and is seeking nominations. The Rehabilitation Act defines requirements for membership. To meet these requirements, nominations are sought for an individual who is blind or has significant visual impairment and is a representative of business, industry or labor. The Rehabilitation Act does not define "representative of business, industry or labor"; therefore, nominations are reviewed to determine whether this designation is appropriate based on nominee's work history.
