CEO, Michael H. Orfinik, has passed the reigns to Nancy Perkins, President of Dallas Lighthouse.

Since Mike began his leadership role at the Dallas Lighthouse in 1999, he has spearheaded initiatives and operational changes to greatly expand the range of services offered by Dallas Lighthouse. Mike and the team re-lit the beacon that is its namesake. He raised revenues from the Industrial Center and increased employment to 175 plus employees. Under Mike’s leadership, Dallas Lighthouse implemented many new initiatives including new rehabilitation services for the visually impaired and new independent living seminars. Mike will continue on in an advisory capacity through January 2010.

Please join us in wishing Mike all the best in his retirement.

OUR HISTORY:
The Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind is the oldest Lighthouse for the Blind in the state of Texas. It was founded in Dallas by Eva Cameron in 1931, a blind woman who devoted her life to encouraging and training others who were visually impaired or blind. Since its original dedication in 1976, the Dallas Lighthouse has been located at 4245 Office Parkway, near Haskell and Interstate 75, on the north side of the Downtown Metropolitan Area. The 3.5 acre complex consists of 3 buildings: The Austin G. Scott Industrial Building, The Viola Burg Building, and the Administration Building with the Schoellkopf Fountain in the courtyard.<READ MORE>
