                        Friday, October 17, 2025

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to honor and congratulate Mr. 
Dennis Steiner on his retirement as President and CEO of VisionCorps.
  VisionCorps is a non-profit organization that provides 
rehabilitative, preventative, educational, and employment services to 
the blind and vision impaired. Mr. Steiner's history with the company 
stretches back 41 years when he joined the agency in 1984 as a case 
manager. In 2008, he became President and CEO of the agency.
  A strong advocate for the blind and visually impaired, Mr. Steiner 
shifted the focus of VisionCorps toward independence and autonomy. He 
introduced summer youth programming, implemented free rehabilitative 
services to clients, and utilized new technology such as smart glasses 
and magnifiers. He also oversaw the expansion of VisionCorps from one 
facility in Lancaster to rehabilitation and employment sites in Adams, 
Chester, Lebanon, and York Counties, as well as in Little Rock, 
Arkansas.

  Additionally, Mr. Steiner serves as the North America/Caribbean World 
Blind Union representative for the National Industries for the Blind. 
He is a board member for VisionServe Alliance, the Pennsylvania 
Association for the Blind, UniqueSource, and the National Association 
for the Employment of People Who Are Blind, the last of which he served 
as the president from 2014 to 2016.
  Under Mr. Dennis Steiner's leadership, VisionCorps has helped 
thousands of individuals lead independent and successful lives. 
Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District is grateful for Mr. 
Steiner's impact, and I wish him all the best in his well-earned 
retirement.
