EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
We all know 2021 has been another challenging year as we continue to navigate the evolving circumstances surrounding the pandemic. What has remained constant is our agency’s commitment to our mission of "empowering Oregonians who are blind to fully engage in life."
The process of rehabilitation is based on the fundamental belief in the human capacity for change at all stages of life. This year-in-review edition of The Voice features Oregonians who are blind and have shown resiliency throughout the pandemic – individuals who have continued to focus on moving their life goals forward, while remaining healthy and safe.
The Commission for the Blind’s specialized staff have worked hard to offer innovative and creative training approaches to keep Oregonians who are blind making progress during this unprecedented time. I hope you enjoy reflecting on the incredible work that took place throughout the year to ensure our citizens who are blind can keep moving forward!
