To that end, we are thrilled to make a select portion of our conference available, free of charge, through a series of online seminars. We’re beginning with key sessions from the 2020 AFB Leadership Conference, which will now be hosted as a mini virtual event. We’re so grateful to Dr. Rachael Sessler Trinkowsky for providing the first virtual session, sharing her expertise on providing remote instruction to students who are blind or low vision—a critical topic now that so many schools and organizations are moving their classes online. We miss our AFBLC community, but we look forward to connecting online at the *Virtual AFB Leadership Conference*. *Save the Date: * “Remote Instruction and Services for Blind and Low Vision Participants” Presented by Dr. Rachael Sessler Trinkowsky, Technology Training and Vocational Coordinator at the Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches, Florida Wednesday, April 1, 1:00 p.m. Eastern Register for the Zoom Meeting <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=455b65fad2&e=d1c527d7f2> We will be adding new sessions to afb.org/AFBLC <https://afb.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd3c8fefc9f905f5ccf41c577&id=9f67811927&e=d1c527d7f2> once a week.
