Hi, I sent out a message in December about this, and this is for our Board meeting. I would like us to make this our language in our Board manual for the MAER Award. It takes a simple vote to make the change. Thanks, Roberta MAER AWARD NOMINATION FORM The MAER Award is intended to commemorate individuals or organizations working with people who are blind or low vision at the time of an event or activity to be recognized such as an anniversary, special project, etc. Previous recipients include Michigan Braille Transcribing Service, Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (100th anniversary), Lynnette Norton, Sue Bradley, Michigan School for the Blind, Seedlings Braille Books, Leader Dogs for the Blind (50th anniversary), and others.
