ACB-O BOARD OF DIRECTORS DESCRIPTION AND STRUCTURE

The non-profit organization of the American Council of the Blind of Ohio (ACB-O) is a membership
organization with the majority of its membership, as well as its board of directors, being
legally blind. All of its board of directors, five officers and eleven directors, are
elected at-large by and from the membership in convention assembled. In addition, each of the
chapters of this state organization may elect or appoint a representative from among its
membership to participate in board meetings. All of the aforementioned have one vote each at the
four regular board meetings held during the year to manage the affairs of ACB-O. While the
board of directors is well qualified and authorized to conduct all necessary business of the
organization, the primary objective of the board, and the organization as a whole, is
advocacy for equal access for visually impaired Ohioans to all aspects of society such as
information, education, housing, employment, transportation, recreation, and to all else commonly
available to the sighted citizenry. Therefore, for the board to best perform its directives,
its members are elected to two year terms by the membership in convention assembled on the
basis of their knowledge and experience in the field of blindness and their skills in
advocacy.
