WDET Detroit Annual Report 2004 Page 7
Celebrating 45 years, the Greater Detroit
Agency for the Blind and Visually Im-
paired is a nonprofit agency that pro-
vides services to increase self-reliance,
productivity, and dignity for persons who
are blind or visually impaired.
GDABVI recently underwent a name and
identity change, going back to a more
historically based name and new logo,
according Jeffrey D. Evans, president of
the GDABVI Board of Directors. Both
were designed to communicate the
agency's core values of promoting inde-
pendence and education through vision
rehabilitation.
