Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It is with both regret and anticipation that I write this letter. I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I have accepted the position of senior legislative and federal affairs officer with the American Psychological Association. The decision to leave was a difficult one and it has been my genuine pleasure to work for the American Council of the Blind during these last two years.
I do not have the words to express how much of an honor and a pleasure it has been to serve as ACB's Director of Advocacy and Governmental Affairs. I have had the privilege of working with committed, dedicated and enthusiastic members, officers and staff.
Thank you for the support, guidance, and encouragement you have provided me during my time at ACB. Even though I will miss my colleagues, I am looking forward to this new challenge and to starting a new phase of my career.
Please keep in touch. I will be sure to leave contact information with the national office. I can also be reached at my personal e-mail address at [email protected] and, as some of you know, I blog regularly from my web site, www.DayAlMohamed.com.
We have worked hard together, with many obstacles and just as many triumphs to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and independence of all people who have visual impairments. I wish all of you and ACB continued success in all your endeavors.
Best of everything, Day
