newly elected leadership to the Division on Visual Impairments and Deafblindness.
Kathleen Stanfa will be serving as our president, Adam Graves as president elect,
and Kathleen Farrand as secretary and editor of Visual Impairment and Deafblind
Education Quarterly. Lane McKittrick is serving as our representative within the
CEC Assembly. Newly elected directors include Sarah Ivy, Jaime Pack-Adair,
Marina McCormick, and Belinda Rudinger. Thank you all for running and serving
on our board. I would also like to say a special thank you to Dr. Amy Parker as our
past president. Your leadership has been instrumental in helping DVIDB to grow
and thrive.
The DVIDB board is happy to announce and congratulate our 2022 award
winners. We have five awards within our division that candidates are nominated
for. Our awards committee uses rubrics to independently score and determine
award winners. All these winners worked very hard in the visual impairment field
and are more than deserving of this honor. Congratulations for all your hard work
for our field. Thank you for all you do.
