Board of Publications

The Board of Publications is a constitutionally chartered body comprised of two members who are appointed by the ACB president and three members who are elected by the ACB membership.

The Board of Publications is responsible for providing oversight and guidance to the editor of “The ACB Braille Forum” and for establishing and maintaining editorial standards and policies for all ACB communication channels, including ACB brochures, “The ACB Braille Forum”, the ACB website and ACB Media.

The BOP also collaborates with individuals and committees responsible for the management of ACB’s email lists and for ACB’s presence on a variety of social media. Annually the BOP confers two awards which recognize writing excellence by individuals and affiliates and a third award which recognizes an outstanding individual or organization for their positive media portrayals of people who are blind or visually impaired.

The BOP conducts business during monthly meetings. ACB members are encouraged to attend these open meetings and participate by asking questions and making comments. Meetings are held via the Zoom platform and streamed on ACB Media.
