Please enter your letter of recommendation in the text area provided below: April 11, 2024 TO: Jacob Bolotin Award Committee RE: Recommendation letter Dear Bolotin Award Committee, My name is Karl Smith and I am writing to recommend the White Canes Connect podcast for the 2024 Jacob Bolotin Award. I became aware of the podcast when I was a guest just prior to the 2022 National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania convention where I served as the national representative representing President Riccobono. Since that time I have been a subscriber and regular listener to the podcast and have found the topics covered by Lisa and David to be interesting and timely and their work to be of high quality and professional. I want to recommend the White Canes Connect podcast for a 2024 Jacob Bolotin award as I feel it represents the positive image of blindness promoted by the National Federation of the Blind. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Karl Smith
