Message from the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired Board of Commissioners:

We, blind consumers, worked to establish a separate agency for the blind in Nebraska; and only we can assure that it continues. It is, therefore, crucial that consumers participate in Board meetings and give both Commissioners and the Executive Director ideas and feedback. Interested people being involved will keep Nebraska's service system vibrant.

We hope you will feel free to contact us at any time at ncbvi.commission-board@nebraska.gov.
