A cornerstone of the Council’s mission since its founding
Legislative advocacy has been a cornerstone of the Council’s mission since its founding in 1952. The Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired advocates for Wisconsin residents who are blind/visually impaired on issues involving local, state and federal rules, regulations, initiatives, policies and legislative proposals.
Through its advocacy committee, the Council is a strong proponent of legislative initiatives that promote the dignity and empowerment of Wisconsin citizens who are blind/visually impaired. Membership on the committee is open to current and former Board members, as well as friends of the Council.
