Houston Area Insight Expo 2011

I’d like to introduce you to the recently-formed Houston Area Visually Impaired Network (HAVIN,) a group connecting the various support groups and resources for visually impaired people across the vast area of the Bayou City. While HAVIN might be new, our leadership comes from individuals involved with these different groups and we have been busy planning our first big event where we want to bring together Houston’s visually impaired community.

The Houston Area Insight Expo will be a day-long event with workshops, feature speakers, panel discussions, information, and resources for the visually impaired. The Insight Expo will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2011, from 9 am until 4 pm. The location will be at the College of Optometry on the University of Houston main campus.

We will have vendors, groups and organizations serving the visually impaired community and inviting them to share their information and wares with us.

Please join with us and participate in what we hope will grow to be a premiere community event in Houston.
