20230622 1600 Lessons in Leadership - Getting Off to a Good Start Originally Broadcasted June 22, 2023, on ACB Media 4 Participating in a Lions Club or other organization can be very rewarding, but it can also prove to be frustrating. Sighted members with no idea of the capabilities of a person with vision loss may be reluctant to include the blind member in club meetings and projects. When our panelists joined their local clubs, they were each the only blind members. They shared their stories and advice as to how to become accepted by their peers and begin that journey into leadership in Lionism. True lessons in leadership that can apply to any organization.
