Mission Statement
The American Council Of The
Blind of Maine, originally established in 1903, is an affiliate of the
American Council of the Blind. As a grass roots non-profit organization,
ACB of Maine promotes personal independence, provides educational
resources and advocates for full inclusion for residents of Maine who are
blind or have low vision.
We believe that by increasing community
awareness, advancing employment opportunities, and advocating for full
access to public, business and communication services, we can enhance the
quality of life for all Maine residents who are blind or have low
vision.
The group meets via Zoom on the second Thursday of the even months - February, April, June, August, September and October. We hold a conference in November.
Welcome! Thank you for taking this opportunity to visit the American Council Of The Blind of Maine (ACB of Maine) webpage. I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Amanda Frost and I am the president of ACB of Maine.
I would like to share a little bit about myself. First and foremost, I am a mother of 12 children ranging from age 24 to 2 years old. We are a very active family traveling the states, learning about different cultures, advocating for individuals with special needs and helping individuals connect with services that have the potential to improve their lives.
One organization that’s very near and dear to my heart is ACB of Maine. The roots of this organization bring individuals together to provide a sense of belonging through challenges and successes.
Please take the time to read our mission statement as it will shed some light on our nonprofit organization. Also, feel free to browse this website taking special interest in our board members, events, and the quarterly newsletter. We offer some really great resources such as our annual convention in November, Tech Talk once a month, a scholarship to help with post-high school education, and information about support groups.
