20210720 - Voices from around the world

August 27, 2021

~~Voices from Around the World - Ten Voices, Ten Worlds: This is our tenth annual Voices from Around the World celebration, so we decided to pull out all the stops. This year, it was decided to take a deep dive into issues surrounding culture and disability. Some cultures embrace it while others may relegate the members who are blind or have low vision to a fate worse than death. This year’s panel discussion promised to be livelier than ever. Listing the panelists here would spoil the surprise, attendees were asked to indulge us by helping to support our 10th anniversary and welcoming our international guests.
