Massachusetts Commission for the Blind

In recognition of retired Orientation and Mobility Director Meg Robertson's more than 30 years of service to the Commonwealth, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB) has established the Meg Robertson Mobility Award. This award honors Meg’s tireless dedication, hard work, and advocacy within the blindness community.

The award is open to motivated white cane and dog guide users of all ages and abilities. We are specifically seeking individuals who demonstrate mobility skills at their current level and use their white cane or dog guide to increase their independence.

A committee assembled by MCB will review the nominations and vote on the winners. The awards are presented annually at our White Cane Awareness Day Celebration in October.
