Several Mississippi Industries for the Blind (MIB) team members recently traveled to Washington, DC to proudly represent MIB at the NIB Conference & Expo. A highlight of the trip was celebrating our Employees of the Year, Linda Bennett and Mary Nichols, who were honored at the awards Banquet. During the conference, Joe Spicer, Donovan Beitel and Tripp Tutor also had the opportunity to visit with our elected government representatives on Capital Hill to help share the importance of the Ability One mission and the work being done by our employees who are blind. At the Expo, Cheri Russell and Tripp Tutor showcased products manufactured by our MIB team, giving attendees a chance to learn more about the quality products produced right here in Mississippi. Those attending the conference included Donovan Beitel, Cheri Russell, Tripp Tutor, Joe Spicer, Linda Bennett, and Mary Nichols. We were also proud to have a couple longtime MIB supporters pictured with the group, Herbert Humphrey and Cheryle Burrow, both longtime members of the MIB family who continue to support the mission. , ,
