The goal for this concept is to find a cost-effective method to provide training and certification to those who learn best from an instructor, thrive…
Read MoreThe National Braille Association is thankful for the countless men and women who have dedicated their lives to ensuring that individuals who are blind receive high quality braille. In 2011, we began to honor these individuals by presenting them with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Due to COVID restraints and canceled conferences, the award process was put on hold for a couple years. We’re thrilled to begin this program again and we’re opening the nominations process to select an award winner this fall. Each year, one individual is selected to receive the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award. For 2023, the selected recipient will receive the award at…
