Greetings from the NFB Human Services Division!
As President Maurer passes the torch
to a new president, the NFBs Human Services
Division feels it is only fitting to recognize
the leader of the third generation of
Federationists in a classic way! In honor of Dr.
Maurer, we will offer you a commemorative coffee
mug. This large 11 oz. mug will feature a
portrait of Dr. Maurer in the 4th floor
Conference Room of the Jernigan Institute. Above
his photo is the year he took office 1986,
Below this date are the words Reflecting the
Flame, the title of one of his many impressive
banquet addresses. Below his portrait are the
words Passing the Torch and the date 2014. On
the opposite side of the mug from the portrait is
the new NFB logo in full color. These mugs will
be available at the Human Services table (B-18)
and at our meeting (see information below) for
only $10.00. These limited edition coffee mugs
will sell out, so don't wait too long to get yours!
The Human Services Division is a
strong & proud division of the National
Federation of the Blind whose members are blind
professionals in the human services field or
aspiring to work in this field, such as social
workers, mental health counselors, psychologists,
genetic counselors, music therapists,
rehabilitation counselors, doctors, nurses,
health care practitioners, , and other human
services related fields. Our meeting will be held
in Salon 19, Level 2 of the Rosen Hotel &
Convention Center. Registration and a trivia
contest will be held from 1:00 1:45 p.m. Our
meeting will begin promptly at 2:00 P.M. and
feature exciting presentations about our efforts
to implement accessible electronic health records
(EHR) by Lauren McLarney, an introduction to the
Diagnostic & Statistical manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-5) by J.D. Townsend, LCSW, , and
overcoming the challenging phrase in so many job
announcements, Driver license required by
Millie Rivera, a Federationist who works for the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC)! Merry Schoch will discuss the work the
Division is doing to improve the accessibility
to licensing and other credentialing examinations
& courses. Scholarship winners will introduce
themselves and talk about their goals and aspirations in the field.
