WFDB welcomes new members

Last week, the WFDB held an Executive Committee meeting and its first Annual General Assembly since 2022, bringing together representatives from over 30 countries online. We are truly grateful for everyone’s participation and engagement.

New members were accepted across different categories, and we would like to warmly congratulate and welcome them into the WFDB family. It is an honour to witness the creation of new organisations of persons with deafblindness.
