Blinded Veterans Association National Executive Director Donald D. Overton, Jr. was the guest on the most recent podcast of Civic Warriors, a series produced by the 50-year-old Withum firm. The podcast series invites leaders in the nonprofit industry affecting change; civic warriors of the world—innovators, leaders on the front lines of adversity, and all-around good people doing good deeds.

In the 54-minute Episode 65, Don shares first his personal journey and his insights into BVA’s mission to support veterans with sight loss. Don and host Brad Caruso then discuss challenges faced by the blind and low vision, common misconceptions, and BVA’s recent legislative advocacy accomplishments. The conversation also touches on career routes for the visually impaired and how to respectfully approach and assist a blind person.
