Keesler Federal Credit Union is recognizing two first responders of the year.
Since 1921, The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) has been a leader in expanding possibilities for the millions of Americans living with vision loss.
Over the past year, AFB has been listening to our community and recognizing the need to come together and move beyond the traditional conference format. The 2026 AFB Leadership Summit is a focused, one-day experience designed to define clear outcomes and bring greater clarity to our field.
AFB’s mission is to expand pathways to leadership, education, inclusive technology, and career opportunities to create a world of endless possibilities for people who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision.
For this reason, AFB, along with others in the field, considers sight loss to fall within this spectrum, ranging from total blindness to low vision resulting from a wide range of conditions. While there are many similarities, every individual’s situation is unique, and the pathway to independence can differ for each person.
Helen's ideals found their purest, most lasting expression in her work for the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB). Helen joined AFB in 1924 and worked for the organization for over 40 years. The foundation provided her with a global platform to advocate for the needs of people with vision loss and she wasted no opportunity.
That’s why AFB launched VisionAware —which is now stewarded by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) ConnectCenter —a free, comprehensive resource for basic information about adjusting to vision loss, including tips for adapting your home and daily living.
