    Description

    Don Wedewer’s journey to national prominence as an advocate for those with vision loss was sparked by brief but life-changing encounters with two iconic figures, Helen Keller and Harry Truman. Listeners will take a journey from those moments to the pioneering and transformative initiatives he led to open opportunities for those with vision loss--lessons from which remain relevant today.

    • Participants will learn how persistence brings about hope.
    • Participants will gain a renewed appreciation of the criticality of support systems in becoming a change agent.
