With the assistance and input of several people, we have developed this MCB "Online" Orientation, which is designed to acquaint you with the Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB). The intent of putting this information together is simply to assist those new to our agency in becoming familiar with who we are, what we do and how we do it.  It is not totally comprehensive or all-inclusive, but merely a sincere effort at providing a helpful overview of our organization and its functions.
