Don’t forget next week’s meeting of the BVA Dog Handlers Committee! The 4:00pm Eastern Time session via Zoom on Tuesday, April 18, is open to all veterans with sight loss who are interested in topics and issues related to guide dogs. The Committee meetings are regularly scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month in the same time slot and generally last approximately 90 minutes. 

Veterans who do not currently have a working guide dog are still welcome to attend and participate in the upcoming meeting. The discussion is not limited to a specific group of dog handlers already established nor is attendance at previous meetings a requirement to attend.

According to Committee Chair Michaun Harrison, the meeting will recap the Winter Sports Clinic, especially the use of guide dogs at this and similar events. The meeting will also discuss the status of an ongoing lawsuit against Uber for denying service to guide dogs.
