From the Director
Over the past three years it has been my privilege to serve as Director of IDB. During that time, IDB staff have accomplished many exciting things that have moved IDB forward. The Library fully converted to digital talking books and is nearly finished converting the magazine program as well. The Orientation Center is full. Transition services have been refined and focused on employment.
From the Editor
Some may find numbers to be an impersonal form of measurement. However, with the correct interpretation they can provide you with a wealth of knowledge about an individual or organization. The following pages demonstrate how numbers affect every aspect of IDB.
2011 was a year of immense growth for IDB staff and clients. It was a year of challenges and accomplishments, beginnings and endings. Inside you’ll discover how IDB continues to raise the bar for expectations. And you’ll find that not only are those expectations met, but they’re redefined in the process.
