Introducing the Houston Area Visually Impaired Network (HAVIN)

Hello,

We want to take the opportunity to introduce you to the Houston Area Visually Impaired Network, or to make easier to remember us, HAVIN.  Welcome to our blog site and make sure to bookmark it for the latest news and updates.

HAVIN is comprised of Houston area volunteer support groups and our goal is to bring together the visually impaired community from the vast area of the Bayou City.

VISION:  To educate, provide peer support, and unify the visually impaired community in the Greater Houston Area. 

PLAN:

1.            Executive committee comprised of representatives from area support groups, and professionals in the Houston area meets for conference calls as designated by the committee. 

2.            City-wide events to educate, to raise awareness for individuals and professionals, and provide an opportunity for networking in the Greater Houston Area. 

3.            Create a newsletter to inform the community and professionals of ongoing events. 

4.            Unify agencies, organizations, and support groups in the Greater Houston Area to meet future needs of the visually impaired in the Greater Houston Area such as transportation, vision rehabilitation center, and assistive technology, etc.
