A message from executive director, Kathy Manhan
Over my last four years as executive director of the Lions Center for the Blind, I have been privileged to meet and work alongside a great many wonderful supporters who share our mission to enable blind and visually impaired individuals and their families, lead full, productive, and independent lives.
The Lions Center for the Blind is a highly responsive rehabilitative education and training organization for visually impaired individuals of all means and ages. In our quest to assist our clients achieve their highest potential and their independence, we seek to provide professional and community leadership through education collaboration, advocacy, policy research and evaluation.
This year has been exciting for us despite the immense financial burden impacting almost all Americans and American organizations. The social services industry has been particularly challenged by funding cuts, but by being nimble, resourceful, and innovative we have found opportunities in the face of adversity. Accordingly, The Lions Center for the Blind is providing expanded program assistance to an ever-growing number of clients, and we are using this opportunity to help build a stronger, smarter community of which the blind and visually impaired are an integral part.
Everyone at the center, whether;donor, volunteer, client, or staff member, contribute to us realizing our mission to afford every blind or visually impaired American the same opportunities and quality of life as the sighted. So, I warmly welcome you to the Lions Center for the Blind and to our diverse, talented, and professional team of committed participants, instructors, and advocates.
Yours in partnership,
Kathy Manhan
Executive Director
