Good Afternoon, While I understand that not everyone on this listserve is in support of the NYS licensure bill (as the verbiage is currently written), I'd like to take this opportunity to spread the word about a petition created by the students of Hunter College's VRT & OM graduate program, which does support the initiative. If you do wish to show your support for the NYS licensure bill (as it stands) please sign this petition to provide the citizens of New York with high quality licensed O&M and VRT services: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/new-york-state-licensure-for-vision-rehabilitation/ Thank you for your time and consideration. Hope to meet some of you at Lobby Day! Sincerely, Maria Rinklin Graduate Student Hunter College, 2013 516.721.3155 maria.rinklin@xxxxxxxxx
