The DAISY Consortium Receives the Horizon Award from APH

George Kerscher smiles as he receives the horizon award from Dr Meador.During the annual conference of The American Printing House for the Blind, Dr. Craig Meador presented the DAISY Consortium with the Horizon Award. George Kerscher, Chief Innovations Officer for the DAISY Consortium, was proud to accept the award on behalf of DAISY, acknowledging how appropriate the name of the award is as there is an enhanced braille standard on the horizon!

In his introduction, Dr. Meador provided an excellent overview of the countries represented by the Consortium. The development of an enhanced braille standard, in conjunction with APH, has been a project that DAISY has been delighted to work on and, with APH now a full member of the Consortium, we look forward to welcoming them at our board meetings.

DAISY is very proud to receive this award, with our thanks to APH for their recognition and partnership.
