Message
from the Regional Executive Director: Welcome to the newly established
Southeast Region! Our region was officially formed April 1, 2009 by integrating
five fund development offices, three recording studios and an established
Florida DOE-funded educational outreach program. The Southeast Region serves
students in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, and Mississippi; we have identified 316,584 students in those seven
states who need our services to succeed in school because they cannot read
standard print because of a visual impairment, a learning disability such
as dyslexia, or other physical disability. At present we are serving 14.2%
of this targeted group. To close the large gap and reach these students
who can benefit from RFB&D services, it will require an enormous commitment
on the part of the RFB&D family of staff, volunteers, and the financial
support from our community. RFB&D has no guaranteed sources of funding
so we rely on the generosity and support of individuals, foundations, corporations
and organizations.
RFB&D is growing and continuously improving our programs, services
and technology and we are multiplying our efforts to reach the students
and professionals who are today frustrated and searching for solutions.
Your reading this message tells me you are one of the many individuals who
will help us spread the RFB&D word across the Southeast (and nationwide)
- thank you. Our vision and mission are too important to remain inactive.
Please contact us if you would like to get involved
or could benefit from our services.
- Lenora Martin
