The Carroll Center for the Blind and Massachusetts Commission for the Blind championed three blind and visually impaired employees “who have made significant contributions to their companies” on Wednesday, June 23.
The 36th annual Carroll Society Award Ceremony will induct two individuals: Robert Dias, a Somerville resident and Massachusetts Office of Disability information specialist, and Cheryl Cummings, a Brighton resident who is the founder of “Our Space,” a nonprofit organization created to mentor and assist blind school-aged children.
Burlington’s Joe Quintanilla, vice president of development and major gifts at the “National Braile Press” in Boston, is the “Blind Employee of the Year” recipient of this year’s award ceremony.
“The 2021 Carroll Society Award recipients represent a remarkable group of leaders, role models, difference makers and change agents,” said Gregory J. Donnelly, president and CEO of the Carroll Center for the Blind.
This year’s ceremony was held virtually on Wednesday and streamed on the Carroll Center’s website.
