On this week’s episode of the ACB Advocacy Update, ACB Executive Director Scott Thornhill speaks about the Randolph-Sheppard Act, which celebrates its

90th anniversary this year. Scott speaks with members of ACB’s affiliate, Randolph-Sheppard Act Vendors of America (RSVA), and board member Jeff Thom about

the history of this important legislation in creating entrepreneurial opportunities for people who are blind. Over the last few months, changes in policy

will mean that action is needed.
