7. President-elect Diane Pevsner and her
Program Advisory Committee developed a
strong schedule of presentations for the
2013 Convention.

There are many, many more activities that I could
list but these are just a few of the major activities
of the organization. Beyond these, the Board is
working to determine new benefits and resources
that we can provide to the membership to increase the value of membership in the organization. While it may seem that we are being quiet
during the year, there are many individual members of DVI who are working tirelessly upon your
behalf. As the president of the organization, I
would like to thank each and every member who
volunteers time and energy to the work of the organization. Without your efforts, the voice of special education for students with visual impairments would not be heard.
