RESOLUTION 1979-6 the reorganization of services to the blind

Whereas the NFB of Md. has expended significant effort and resources in the reorganization of services to the blind in Hd. and;

whereas these efforts have stimulated tremendous interest within the blind community and in state government circles and;

whereas our call for reorganization of services to the blind has been based on the sound premises that:

1. independent state agencies for the blind provide the best possible structure for the delivery of services to blind persons;
2. in Md., services for the blind are fragmented or obliterated by being divided among or integrated into several different structures result n in lack of coordination and efficiency;

3. the present system causes confusion, lack of communication, and, most importantly, lack of quality services to blind persons;

    

   now, therefore, be it resolved by the NFB of Md., in convention assembled in College Park, Md., this 27th day of October, 1979;

    

   that this organization reaffirms its commitment to the

   improvement of services to the blind in: Md. and;

   be it further resolved that the officers, board of directors-, legislative committee and the membership take all necessary action to bring about these needed reforms.
