The purpose of AERO shall be to render all possible assistance to the promotion, development, and improvement of all phases of education, rehabilitation, and other vital human services to blind and visually impaired persons of all ages.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2009 Business Meeting - AERO Pulling Together - a success! Over 100 participants from around the state of Ohio - and beyond - made it a wonderful day of camaraderie among professionals working in the field of visual impairments. A special thank you to Roanne Flom and Ann Pilewskie for donating their time to provide strong professional development opportunities to our members.

The Ohio Chapter of AER is a strong organization that would not be possible without your continued support. Through your membership renewals, participation and feedback, we are able to provide support and opportunities for our professionals throughout the state.

As the excitement of 2009 begins to wind down, plans for the 2010 AERO Conference have already begun! Mark your calendars:
