As Commissioner, Virginia DBVI, a typical day centers on agency leadership: setting service and access priorities for people who are blind or vision impaired; reviewing programs, budgets, and performance; meeting division leads; engaging the Governor’s office, General Assembly staff, providers, and advocacy groups; and representing the department on compliance, workforce, and community outcomes. Expect more policy, oversight, and stakeholder work than hands-on case delivery.
