"To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."- Anatole France
TABS works collectively to manage the numerous tasks associated with the progress of the organization. Fund raising, technology, legislative action, public relations, and membership recruitment are among some of the key elements by which progress is measured, but in order to meet our intended goals, it is necessary to have the support of dedicated members. Though elections for board positions are held at the Annual Business Meeting at our affiliate's state convention, interested students wishing to serve on one of our committees are strongly encouraged to contact us at any time during the year. New ideas are always welcomed, and what better way to assist in our movement than by contributing your own skills and talents? Feel free to contact any one of our board members, who will be more than glad to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Hello my name is Kayleigh Joiner and I am a senior at Pearland High School. I am
involved in the varsity mixed choir and the school musical. I am also a member
of National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society. In my spare time I enjoy
reading, swimming, goalball, beep baseball, and hanging out with my friends.
After I graduate from high school I am going to pursue a bachelor’s degree in
elementary education. Then I plan to go to Louisiana Tech and become certified
in teaching blind students. I joined TABS in order to become informed about the
issues facing blind students and to help find solutions for them. I am proud to
be involved in one of the largest organizations of blind students.

I am attending the University of Texas at Brownsville, where I have started my education towards becoming a teacher for blind students.
