Hi - my name
is Julie Welch. I've been a member of ACB of Maine for three years now.
Last October, Amanda asked me to join the board. Although I'm fairly new
to ACB, I'm enjoying this new role and learning a lot.
In the fall
of 2024, I contacted the USHER Network in Maine to brush up on my
independent living skills, including cane skills and other
devices. Also in 2024, I became an USH
Ambassador for the Usher Syndrome Coalition. In this volunteer role, I
am the "point person" for the Coalition in Maine. The Usher
Syndrome Coalition is the only nonprofit exclusively serving the
Usher community worldwide. In addition to the long list of resources on
theirwebsite, they will be
hosting their USH Connections Conference July 17-19, 2026, in Bloomington, MN. Sign up for our
mailing listto stay informed. If you have Usher syndrome, you can sign
up for the USH Trust on the same page. The USH Trust allows us to connect
and inform those living with Usher syndrome directly. If you have any
questions, or just want to connect, my email address is ambassador.me@usher-syndrome.org
