In recognition of former O&M Director Meg Robertson, MCB developed the
Meg Robertson Mobility Award to be presented annually at the
White Cane Awareness Day Celebration event every October.
This award highlights Meg’s hard work, dedication and advocacy to the
blindness community with more than 30 years of service.
This award is to celebrate the white cane and its impact in the lives of
individuals who are blind and visually impaired.
The award is open to long cane users of all ages and abilities who are registered with MCB. We are looking for individuals who are motivated and demonstrate mobility skills at their level while incorporating the cane into their lives to increase independence. The nomination form must be completed by a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist (COMS). The deadline is September 16th.
Nominations should include the following:
- How has an individual's travel ability with a cane improved since the
beginning of O&M instruction to their current level?
- Where does the person travel with a cane?
- How has O&M made a difference in their life?
