The Carroll Center for the Blind and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind recognize outstanding employees who are visually impaired through the annual Carroll Society Awards Ceremony. These Awards recognize blind and visually impaired employees who have made significant contributions to their companies by 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.

Blind Employee of the Year Award Recipient:

• Joseph Quintanilla, Vice President of Development and Major Gifts, National Braille Press

Carroll Society Inductees:

• Cheryl Cumings, President, Our Space Our Place
• Robert Dias, Disability Rights Information Specialist, Massachusetts Office on Disability

Congratulations to this year’s winners!

Join us for a virtual Carroll Society Award Ceremony on June 23 at 3:00 P.M. EDT to celebrate these four individuals.
