Season 3 of Inform & Connect kicks off with a conversation with Carl Augusto, President Emeritus of AFB.
Carl served as president and CEO of AFB for 25 years—one quarter of the organization’s 100-year history.
Under Carl’s leadership, AFB forged numerous strategic partnerships and alliances within the vision loss community and beyond to address critical issues and expand opportunities for people with vision loss, including broadening the organization's scope to influence corporate America to make its products and services accessible. He was the fifth chief executive of the American Foundation for the Blind since its founding in 1921.
In light of October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Melody and Carl discuss his employment journey, from early in his career through his tenure at AFB. They also discuss public perceptions of blindness, along with Carl’s favorite baseball and musical acts, which he also occasionally shares on Facebook.
