All, After my latest call for opinions on forming a group for visually impaired computer professionals, I got a little bit more interest. So we have decided to proceed with formation of this organization. The purpose of the organization is threefold: 1. To serve as a source for information on adaptive techniques for visually impaired computer professionals. 2. To serve as a source for social networking for visually impaired computer professionals. 3. To serve as an advocate for visually impaired professionals. The first thing we need to do is form a board of directors. Anyone interested in serving on the board should email me at jheim@math.wisc.edu as soon as possible. You need not be an American to be on the board of directors. In fact, international interest is welcome. I have already contacted a lawyer about getting tax exempt status in the United States. We need to have a board of directors to get tax exempt status. We already have enough people to legally create a board of directors but I was hoping for 2 or 3 more people to bring the total to 5 or 6.
Hi John,
I am a (prematurely) retired software engineer who worked for 20 years for
Bell Labs out of Naperville, IL. I now live in Superior, Wisconsin and am
trying with very little success to find another computer related job. I
would be quite interested in this group as well as possibly serving as a
board member.
