Clear Answer Finds Success
in First Year of Operation
The first graduating class
from the ClearAnswer
customer service training
program.

associate, Bill Epperson.
What seemed like a dream when
CVI began to explore a new business
venture in 2009 is now a real
business in operation. ClearAnswer,
CVI’s contact center enterprise,
has 11 income-producing contracts and has
provided jobs and training opportunities for
17 people who are blind or visually impaired.
ClearAnswer is already the opportunity they
hoped it would become.
As ClearAnswer approaches its first
anniversary, it’s a great time to reflect on all
that’s been accomplished in what has truly been
a team effort. Starting in late June of 2011,
CVI trained and graduated 17 clients from
its customer service training program. Many
of those graduates have gone on to gainful
employment either at ClearAnswer or in local
contact centers such as Southwest Airlines and
CarMax. The customer care associates have
made tens of thousands of calls to current and
former CVI clients, volunteers, trustees and
donors, verifying contact information, surveying
their satisfaction with services, thanking them
for their service and support and more. The
ClearAnswer team is currently fulfilling client
contracts that include a wide range of service
needs including customer service, surveys,
appointment setting, call quality scoring and
more. For example, ClearAnswer has a partnership
with Nobis Works to manage its vehicle
donation program. Nobis Works is among
Georgia’s largest nonprofit community
rehabilitation programs serving youth and
adults with disabilities and other barriers to
employment. In 2003, Nobis Works
launched a vehicle donation program
in which people could donate
their car, motorcycle, truck, RV,
or watercraft to raise funds for
Nobis Works and support its
mission to provide assistance to
individuals with disabilities and
other barriers to employment.
After completing an
online form, vehicle
donors receive a call from ClearAnswer contact
center to discuss details and arrange vehicle pick
up. The vehicle donors also have the ability
to call the contact center directly to make
arrangements.
Corporate Vice President of the Tommy
Nobis Foundation, Karen Carlisle said, “One of
the key success drivers in the vehicle donation
program is ClearAnswer because they are the
vehicle donor’s first point of contact. The
feedback we’ve gotten from our donors has
indicated that the ClearAnswer agents are
pleasant, knowledgeable, and make what would
seem like a complicated process of donating a
vehicle very simple to do.”
Jim Carruthers, vice president for business
development, said, “Nobis Works and
ClearAnswer share a common mission, to
employ people with disabilities and barriers
to employment. We’re excited to play a
small part in the success of the Nobis Works
vehicle donation program and hope to expand
contact center support into other areas in the
organization.”
The partnership allows ClearAnswer the
opportunity to hire additional blind and
visually impaired employees.
CVI’s ClearAnswer contact center has a
bright future ahead, employing highly qualified
visually impaired staff and driving revenue to
expand the mission of the center.
ClearAnswer has 11 income-producing
contracts and has provided jobs and training
opportunities for 17 people who are blind or
visually impaired.
From the President
In 1987, Senator Burton’s
Children and Youth committee
included (L to R) CVI Board
members, Grover Garrett
and Bick Cardwell, Executive
Director Carolyn Kokenge,
Assistant Director for Program
Services, Scott McCall, State
Senator (R-District 23) Frank
Albert, State Senator (R-District
5) Joe Burton, and CVI Board
Member Bob Hilton.
In 1974, the Center for the
Visually Impaired was located
at 763 Peachtree Street.
CVI’s 50-year history could be written
as an opera—its clients would (of
course) be the heroes—a role shared
by its founders and leaders through
the years. And the required operatic
tragedy would be the incredibly difficult
financial constraints that the organization has
faced throughout much of its history.
In my last column I focused on the strong
leadership of Carolyn Kokenge, executive
director from 1979 to 1991, who is certainly
one of CVI’s heroines. Another would be
Evelyn Ullman, second board chair of the newly
established Atlanta Area
Services for the Blind
(AASB). Evelyn can move
mountains—and does.
The organization’s move
to the old Dwoskin’s
building at 763 Peachtree
Street had provided
great room for program
expansion along with
several offices that
Evelyn Ullman
could be leased to other
businesses for income. Noted Atlanta architect
Philip Trammel Shutze was retained by his
friend Harry Dwoskin to remodel the façade
in 1939. He created a lovely and welcoming
entrance, although unfortunately the remainder
of the building did not receive his artist’s
touch. In 1976, AASB leased the building from
its owner Florence Maxwell. In typical style,
Evelyn Ullman decided that since Mrs. Maxwell
had no heirs, she should be asked to give the
building to the organization. Evelyn traveled to
Florida to meet with Mrs. Maxwell, who agreed
to transfer the title of the building to AASB
through a life income trust agreement. In
exchange, AASB named the Florence Maxwell
Low Vision Clinic in her honor. It was a gift
that changed the course of history for the
organization, but we’ll get to that later.
Under Carolyn Kokenge’s guidance, CVI
balanced its books and began to recognize the
danger of relying solely on State contracts and
United Way funding. To create an independent
source of funding, AASB embarked on an
endowment capital funds campaign. Dr. T.
Marshall Hahn, CEO of Georgia Pacific, agreed
to lead the campaign and Martin Lehfeldt and
Associates were retained as consultants. A
campaign goal of $750,000 was set despite
many concerns about whether it would be
achievable.
After $846,000 was actually raised (nearly
$1,700,000 in today’s dollars), the CVI Board
determined that the CVI Foundation, Inc. should
be created, a separate 501(c)(3) organization
that would be responsible for the maintenance
and growth of the endowment, overseeing
both investment and fund raising policies and
procedures. James R. Kuse, CEO of Georgia
Gulf Corp., was elected as the first chair of
the CVI Foundation Board in 1989. Through
the years, the initial $846,000 has grown to
$2,432,000 in permanently endowed funds and
$2,308,000 in investment funds. These funds
have provided an annual source of income and
have funded the expansion of programs and
provided emergency revenue when traditional
funding has dropped without warning.
While Carolyn Kokenge concentrated on
building the organization’s financial resources,
Scott McCall, originally
a rehabilitation counselor
with the Georgia
Department of Human
Resources, came to AASB
in 1978 as Associate
Executive Director. CVI’s
rehabilitation programs
expanded significantly
CVI President Subie Green
under Scott’s leadership
and his work in self-defense training for people
with vision loss continues to be recognized
internationally. When Carolyn retired in 1992,
Scott was named Executive Director. Blind
since birth, Scott understood the importance of
employing strong role models at CVI so that
clients would understand that loss of vision did
not equal loss of independence, employment or
participation in the community. Scott hired
many staff members who were blind and one
of his great gifts to the agency was expanding
Annie Maxwell’s role from coordinating
volunteers and teaching braille to directing the
brand-new STARS Program.
Annie Maxwell was instrumental in starting
the STARS (Social, Therapeutic, Academic
and Recreation Services) program at CVI.
An acronym for Social, Therapeutic, Academic
and Recreation Services, STARS began at CVI
when the American Foundation for the Blind
decided it could no longer sponsor the program
that had offered activities for school-aged
children who were blind. Scott and Annie saw
the value of the STARS program coming to
CVI and over the years built it into a model
of programming for school-aged children in a
non-residential setting.
When the first STARS activity was held, Annie
invited blind children she had identified to come
to CVI to get acquainted. “The kids didn’t
even know how to introduce themselves to each
other,” she said. “They would just come into the
room and sit, plugged into Walkman radios.”
When Annie suggested a trip to Six Flags, the
kids couldn’t believe it and many parents were
shocked that she would even suggest it, but
Annie was determined to show the children how
to have fun together. Forty kids signed up for
the trip along with parents and adult volunteers
and the STARS program took off. Since then
STARS has initiated the After School Enrichment
Program, monthly outings, summer day camps, a
mentoring program with blind adults, and special
holiday events—all designed to foster learning
while having a lot of fun.
Because many more people experience low
vision than blindness, the AASB Board of
Trustees realized that a name change would
more accurately reflect the wider range of
services offered to people with low vision. In
1987, the organization changed its name to
Center for the Visually Impaired.
Stay tuned! Next time we’ll move CVI’s
history into the 21st century.
Blind/Sight Exhibit Debuts Online
www.blindsight.org
What is it like to be blind or visually
impaired? Are there differences
between the two? What does someone
who is visually impaired actually see?
In celebration of its 50th anniversary,
CVI answers those questions by hosting
an on-line exhibition called Blind/Sight at
www.blindsight.org. Originally created by
photographer, Billy Howard, and illustrator,
Laurie Shock, the Blind/Sight exhibition first
premiered at the VSA Arts of Georgia Gallery
and the Fernbank Museum of Natural History
in Atlanta. Today the exhibit is a permanent
fixture in the halls of the Center for the Visually
Impaired.
Now also available on-line, Blind/Sight
provides an opportunity to see and hear
conversations from 14 former CVI clients
who are blind and visually impaired.
The website allows visitors to click the
link to each person’s name and discover
each client’s journey through vision loss.
Photo illustrations and descriptions are
also shown to allow visitors a glimpse of
what they see through their eyes.
CVI is proud to be represented by the people
featured in the exhibit. Blind/Sight provides an
opportunity to learn their empowering stories
of achieving independence with dignity and a
better understanding of how they see the world.
In the coming months, CVI looks forward to
continuing promotion of the online exhibit and
expanding the concept to include a traveling
exhibit that will tour the Atlanta-Metro area
over the next 18 months.
Cliff Hembree (with Sampson), 34,
trauma: Due to Charles Bonnet
Syndrome, Cliff sees cartoon-like
images that appear over the
background. It’s not a recognizable
cartoon but rather an image
composed of eyes, arms, legs, and
other things wrapped around each
other in something resembling a
football tackle.
Mao Ueno, 5, optic nerve glioma:
Mao has no visual imagery, he sees
only a dark shade of gray. Because
he has a visual memory, he talks
about things he sees through his
rich, visual imagination.
Desiree’s Present
and Future Beyond Vision Loss
In 1999, Desiree Reed’s vision
transitioned from 20/20 to total
blindness. “It was a major life
adjustment,” she said. “But life goes
on and I moved forward wanting to
know what I needed to do to still be able to
achieve my goals.”
It all began at the age of 12, when Desiree
experienced severe muscle spasms around her
eye. One day her vision became blurry and as
the days passed, her condition progressively
became worse. Her parents decided to take her
to an ophthalmologist.
The doctor discovered that Desiree had a
buildup of spinal fluid on her optic nerve
which was causing the muscle spasms. She
was in extreme pain and the only solution
to completely relieve the pain was to drain
the fluid. The surgical procedure, however,
did not come without risks. There was a 50
percent chance she would lose her sight after the
procedure.
Opting to have the surgery to relieve the pain,
Desiree ended up losing her sight. “I can’t see
anything, but what I do see is a collage full of
colors,” said Desiree. “Some of my optic nerves
are completely damaged and the doctors never
diagnosed what caused the fluid buildup.”
In 2005, at the age of 19, Desiree relocated
with her family to Atlanta from New Orleans
after hurricane Katrina. Through personal
research she found CVI.
At CVI, she was able to improve her braille
and computer skills and learn to travel
independently with a white cane. She knew
that in order to accomplish her goals, she
needed to learn how to do things differently,
and CVI helped her achieve that. Desiree also
participated in CVI’s customer service training
program that included curriculum focused on
how to present yourself as a customer service
agent, build rapport with clients and take notes
accurately. Desiree said, “It was very interactive.
We had a lot of role playing.”
Role playing is also a factor in her personal life
as Desiree participates in an acting group called
VIP Players, which stands for Visually Impaired
Players. It is a performance group that features
improv acting and plays. She is currently
writing and directing a play called, Where is the
Love that is about love, relationships, marriage
and divorce. She’s also writing two books that
she hopes to have published.
Today, Desiree works full-time as a customer
care associate at CVI’s ClearAnswer contact
center. Her vision may never be the same, but
what she sees for herself is more than 20/20.
“I’m a fighter and I’m persistent to achieve what
I want out of life,” said Desiree.
Desiree Reed, 24, is a ClearAnswer
Customer Care Associate.

CVI Honors Donors at Henderson
Society Dinner

CVI kicked off its 50th anniversary
year at the annual Henderson Society
dinner on January 26, 2012. CVI
honored members of the George and
Jean Henderson Society and the Mary
Ann and Dick Cook Legacy Society at the
annual dinner. More than 140 of CVI’s greatest
supporters gathered to be recognized for their
significant financial contributions to the Center
and celebrate the legacy of CVI founders George
and Jean Henderson.
John Rhett, chair of the CVI Board of
Trustees, welcomed guests, while Henderson
Society and Fundraising Committee Chair
Cosmo Boyd thanked members of the
Henderson and Cook societies for their generous
support that empowers and changes the lives of
people impacted by vision loss. CVI president
Subie Green reflected on how CVI has grown
since its founding in 1962 – from serving
just seven clients in its first year to more than
5,000 annually today – and how innovation
and technology have dramatically widened
opportunities for people with vision loss.
Captain Scotty Smiley, the U.S. Army’s
first blind active-duty officer and company
commander, was the evening’s keynote speaker.
Blinded while serving in Iraq in 2005,
Capt. Smiley inspired guests with his story of
determination and courage as he completed his
own vision rehabilitation training and continued
to serve his country.
