Jennifer welcomed the group and extolled the importance of the organization’s mission. She introduced Dr. Calvin W. Roberts, Lighthouse Guild’s CEO and President, who spoke to the power of assistive technology and expert training to equip people who are visually impaired with the tools they need to achieve independence, educational success, and career goals.
