From: Heather Hogan [mailto:Heather.Hogan=envisionus.com at mail72.atl51.rsgsv.net] On Behalf Of Heather Hogan Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 4:55 PM To: Maurice Peret Subject: Please join us at Envision Conference View this email in your browser<http://us7.campaign-archive2.com/?u=6e3f0d354d8de00f19f8da328&id=b743cdad56…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6e3f0d354d8de00f19f8da328/images/888553bf-ba3…] Good afternoon, As sister National Industries for the Blind agencies, we are well aware of the importance of having highly trained clinical staffs that are knowledgeable in current trends in low vision patient care. To that end, I am personally encouraging you to send your employees to the upcoming Envision Conference, September 7-10 at the Grand Hyatt in Denver. Our conference is the only centralized source of accredited low vision continuing education with a multidisciplinary focus. It is an invaluable opportunity for optometrists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation therapists, teachers of the visually impaired and vision researchers to collaborate and share knowledge to address practice gaps in current standards of care and research. Envision Conference provides the most up-to-date information and education available to enhance low vision professionals? ability to make good clinical decisions for patients. Sessions will focus on patient safety, prevention, care management, healthcare innovations, emerging best practices and research. Participants will receive research findings, evidence-based information and tools to improve the outcomes, quality, access to, cost and utilization of health care services. The value of the Envision Conference to your staff members is unprecedented access to information that will strengthen their overall ability to do their jobs and improve patient care. The value of their attendance to Envision Conference is just as significant. Their backgrounds, personal stories and individual perspectives will deepen conversations and possibly lead to new breakthroughs in low vision rehabilitation and research with global impact. The Envision Conference is building a community of low vision practitioners that would be incomplete without your organization?s participation. Complete details and a registration link for the Envision Conference can be found here: http://www.envisionconference.org<http://envisionus.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e3f0d354d8de00f19f8da3…>. If you have any questions, please feel to get in touch with me by email <mailto:Heather.Hogan at envisionus.com> or by phone at 316-440-1517. Envision appreciates your support and we look forward to seeing you in Denver!

This year's Cane Walk, we seriously need instructors
by jaltman＠neb.rr.com 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hello Everyone, I have just received word that we have 99 adults registered for this year's Cane Walk. I don't know for sure how many children or families this represents, but clearly this is the largest group we will have served up to this point. This is clearly a wonderful problem to have, but without enough instructors it will most certainly be a problem. It is possible that enough of you are already planning to come to help out, but just in case, please encourage other instructors to give of their time, and please ask this of anyone you believe will feel comfortable teaching basic O&M skills. I would rather have too many instructors, than to have to turn anyone away from this experience. Thank you, Jeff Altman MA NOMCT CVRCB
