Welcome to the AER Administration & Leadership Division page!
The purpose of this division is to provide a forum for division members to address issues related to the management of organizations that work with people who are blind and visually impaired, such as non-profit, federal, state, or provincial agencies, schools for the blind and visually impaired, public school systems, and related organizations.
Check out the recording of our “Learning Together/Leading the Way” discussion.
Also, check out the recording of “Catch and Release: Acquisition and Allocation of Resources” discussion, held on April 12, 2022.
Proposed Position Paper on Noncompete Clause
At the 2024 AER International Conference, AER members approved a resolution outlining why contracts that contain noncompete clauses impede the ability to provide FAPE and qualified services. This resolution called for a position paper, or white paper, to be developed by July 31, 2025, for the membership to review. A draft paper has been created and is ready for review.
Division 1’s plan for moving the position paper forward is outlined below; links to the original resolution, the proposed position paper, a form for public comments, and a Zoom Meeting to review the paper with membership at large.

Following the Public Comment Zoom Meeting, an editing team will address the proposed comments to create a final version. The final version will be posted for voting by September 31, 2025. Should you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to your Division 1 Officers. Greg Lazur – Chair |
