As a Field Services Representative, one of my responsibilities is to go to conferences and exhibit APH products. Oftentimes I will display many of the new and exciting products that we have to offer in order to provide consumers an opportunity to see the items firsthand before making the decision to purchase them.

APH must now move forward, and focus our energies on our mission to support students with braille literacy and adults in their independence.”
