Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM) is a unique not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to positively change people's attitudes about blindness. We do this by offering comprehensive rehabilitation programs, diverse employment opportunities, and services for blind and low vision people of all ages.

BISM held the Grand Opening ceremony for its Salisbury Training Center for Blind Seniors on July 16.  The event featured numerous Eastern Shore dignitaries, including Maryland State Delegates Norm Conway, Jim Mathias, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, and Addie Eckardt, along with over 100 BISM associates and supporters. Delegate Conway, a longtime supporter of BISM, spoke at the ceremony and cut the ribbon with BISM President Fred Puente, Rehabilitation Services Coordinator Amy Crouse, and Rehabilitation Specialist Danielle Earl. The guests were invited to tour the new building and refreshments were served.
