Envision Dallas

For the first time, Envision Dallas opened its doors to a group of CEOs from Vistage for a guided, behind-the-scenes experience.    This immersive visit highlighted the intersection of mission, innovation and opportunity—showcasing how adaptive tools, accessible technology and purpose-driven work are creating meaningful jobs for people who are blind or visually impaired.    Read the full story: http://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pbit.ly/40bbSEt

Raising awareness is the first step toward expanding opportunities. As our President and CEO, Michael Monteferrante, shares in this episode: “When people better understand the capabilities of individuals who are blind or visually impaired, it changes perceptions. That’s how doors start to open—through education and exposure.” We’re proud to take part in this conversation alongside NSITE and others leading the way in employment access and workforce innovation.

This week, our flag flies at half-staff as part of a statewide tribute to those affected by the Central Texas floods. At Envision, we stand with our communities—in moments of progress and in moments of loss.

On Wednesday morning, nearly 100 corporate executives gathered for the first annual Envision Dallas Corporate Leadership Breakfast. Leaders from across the Dallas area came together to learn about the realities of vision loss and how Envision is making an impact in the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. We were honored to welcome James Ashworth, VP of Customer Care at Southwest Airlines, as our keynote speaker, and grateful to Tiffany Liou of WFAA for serving as our emcee.

Behind the scenes at Envision Dallas: We recently welcomed executives from National Industries for the Blind for a tour of our facility. The visit sparked valuable conversations around potential collaboration opportunities in products and services.

Family, friends, colleagues, and donors are deeply saddened by the passing of Blake Lindsay, Manager of Outreach at Envision Dallas. Those who knew Blake were inspired by his dedicated service as an ambassador for people who are blind or visually impaired. Blake’s love for people was evident in his constant display of “love in action,” as he engaged with colleagues and clients alike. The joy he brought to every relationship was contagious, creating a lasting, transformative impact on those around him. A purposeful leader, Blake led with integrity and was guided by a true calling to inspire and empower others to reach their fullest potential. In honor of his legacy, a memorial fund in Blake Lindsay’s name is being established to support and benefit individuals who are blind or visually impaired. A memorial fund has been established in Blake's name which will continue his legacy to make a positive impact for people who are blind or visually impaired.

At our Grand Opening in Farmers Branch, attendees enjoyed visiting our Envision Interface Contact Center, where trained professionals who are blind or visually impaired deliver excellent customer support! With artwork featured by blind artist George Mendoza, Envision Interface was vibrant with tactile pieces that engaged the senses, and attendees learned more about the wide array of employment opportunities we offer for people with vision loss.
