S1E70 – 20220125 – Tuesday Topics – The state of ACB in 2021 and in 2022 – Eric Bridges and Clark Rachfal.

This week we will get a chance to review the year that was and look forward to the year that is ahead with Eric Bridges who is Executive Director of the American Council of the Blind. With Eric will be Clark Rachfal who leads our legislative effort at the capitol. This is Clark’s first appearance on Tuesday Topics so we will find out some about his background. He is an avid fitness person so I suspect we will hear something about ACB’S efforts to make more equipment used for exercise accessible to our members.

You will, of course, have a chance to ask Questions and to raise issues. What do Eric and Clark think the major accomplishments of ACB were last year. What about 2022? Are there big plans for this year? What are they? How do we accomplish change at a time of political gridlock? Can we get more done at the state and local level? Has the pandemic left unmet needs? Does the new work environment favor or hinder people who are blind? How will the post-covid political environment affect people who are blind? These are, of course, just some of the questions we will probably discuss during our state of the council review!
