2024 Carroll Society Awards Ceremony
Overview of 2024 Carroll Society Awards Ceremony
The Carroll Center for the Blind and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind recognize outstanding employees who are blind or have a visual impairment through the annual Carroll Society Awards Ceremony. These Awards recognize employees who are blind or have a visual impairment and have made significant contributions to their companies through their outstanding ability and job performance.
Individuals are chosen because, despite vision loss, they are exemplary employees and contribute to the overall culture of both their business and community. Despite the employment barriers people with disabilities face, inductees have proven their commitment to making a difference by serving as both leaders and examples for others. Each new Carroll Society inductee demonstrates the passion, professionalism, and excellence to change the perception of what it means to be blind in the workplace.
