Welcome to the CCB Courier for August 7, 2026
From ACB:
In July, we announced that the Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act had passed the Senate and is headed to the House of Representatives. Due to this
exciting development, we have updated our Speak4 campaign for the OAA Reauthorization Act, so that Speak4 messages are sent to the House of Representatives instead of the Senate. We encourage everyone to tell their representatives to pass this vital piece of legislation! A link to the updated Speak4 campaign can be found here:

Save the date for an exciting presentation from Glidance!
Invite your friends, family and neighbors!
Join us on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 to get an update and demo on the Glide, the world's first intelligent guide for people who are blind or have low vision. Glide is a two-wheeled, AI-powered mobility aid that steers and brakes autonomously, detecting obstacles, drop-offs, crosswalks, stairs, and more in real time. Think of it as a third primary mobility option alongside the white cane and guide dog. This Virtual Demo is a free online Zoom event where you can learn everything about Glide from A to Z, meet the team, and get your questions answered live. The Glidance team:
- Amos Miller, CEO
- Allison Remington, Community Engagement
- Ellie Carlson, Head of O& M
- Jonathan Kalan, Head of Brand
Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2026
