 What’s New for 2026
Community Partner Meetings
Thank you for your partnership with State Services for the Blind, and for the important work you do serving Minnesotans who are blind, low vision, or DeafBlind.
Based on feedback and low attendance, we are making changes to Community Partner meetings in 2026 to better respect everyone’s time.
In 2026 the spotlight meetings will be 30 minutes and focused on learning about our Community Partners and the services you provide. Each partner will be asked to choose one month to present (sign up here) and attend at least that session. This is needed to help educate our staff. Meetings will be recorded and posted on our website for staff and customers to view later.
Access the Spotlight schedule on our website and register in advance.
In 2026 Quarterly Forums will also be 30 minutes, with dedicated short trainings for partners. January’s topic will be Mandated Reporting, with additional topics planned throughout 2026.

We look forward to strengthening our work together in the new year and wish you a happy holiday season.
