Dear NOMC
As you may know, the Orientation and Mobility Specialists Association, OMSA
was created to be a membership organization for all mobility instructors,
including NOMC. Here is a link to a new blog that has been created for new
professionals.
******
As you are aware, we are creating a blog called New Professionals in
Mobility designed to allow new professionals in the fields of Orientation
and Mobility to discuss ideas and offer and receive support from other new
professionals.
http://newprofessionalsinmobility.blog/
We are sharing this information with you in the hope that you will post to
the site so that we can continue to work out the kinks before announcing the
blog to the profession. We also welcome any feedback from you about your
experience using the site.
Eventually, we would like to ask you to share the attached letter with your
current students and those that have graduated between 2017 and now. When
that time comes (probably at the beginning of the fall session or semester)
we hope that you will help us by announcing this blog to your graduates and
current students. We hope this new group will assist in creating a community
focused on bettering our field so that we can continue to improve our
services to people who are blind or visually impaired. If you have any
questions, please feel free to email us with questions or responses. Thank
you for your time.
