A Bigger Difference In More Lives Mergers can be challenging and often disruptive. However, when Alphapointe joined forces with the New York City Industries for the Blind (NYCIB) this past year, the two organizations blended easily, perhaps because of their common goal: creating aspirational careers for the blind and visually impaired. The merged organization now has more than 400 employees operating in nine locations across four states. “I am extremely proud of how well these organizations worked together to create a seamless transition,” said CEO Reinhard Mabry. “The smooth process is a testament to the conscientiousness of all our employees.” As of May 1, 2014, NYCIB began operating under the Alphapointe name. Rick Bland, former CEO at NYCIB, is serving as an Alphapointe adviser and remains in New York City. Based out of a 140,000-square-foot facility located in Brooklyn, Alphapointe (NYCIB) is the largest provider of jobs for the blind or visually impaired and employs almost 200 men and women in the New York City and surrounding areas. Alphapointe (NYCIB) also operates a satellite operation near JFK airport, servicing the United States Postal Service. The merged organization plans to continue critical partnerships with several New York agencies. NYCIB’s affiliation with the New York State Preferred Source Program (NYSPSP) helped provide a broad range of products and services to New York state, city and local government agencies. NYCIB also manufactured AbilityOne/Skilcraft products under the AbilityOne Program, supplying the Federal government and military personnel with quality products. Big things continue to happen in the Big Apple. Since the merger, Alphapointe secured new business to package homeland security kits for the state of New York, renewed a sewing contract for the U.S. military and opened a call center, ensuring job opportunities for people who are blind in New York will be protected and continue to thrive.

After 81-year-old Karen was diagnosed with macular degeneration, she was referred to the Low Vision Clinic to help her maintain her independence. An occupational therapist introduced Karen to a handheld video magnifier, task lighting and positioning, and benefit filters, for reading. Karen also learned how to use various guides for writing. She believes that both the magnifier and the writing guides have helped her greatly. Karen credits Alphapointe with helping to keep her independent and active. “Being able to keep doing what I love has made all the difference,” she said.

With an ear for music, Leol Williams wanted a job in the field of piano tuning. Despite previous experience, Leol hadn’t done this work in quite some time and needed to fine-tune his skills before he could start applying for work. Alphapointe set up Leol with local churches to practice tuning. “The church pianos helped me prepare for interviews and I used the experience to update my resume, too,” he said. In time, Alphapointe connected Leol with Steinway Piano Corporation, where he’s happily employed as a professional, contracted piano tuner.

On the recommendation of his ophthalmologist, Demarrius Young, a busy, athletic, high school student with ocular albinism, visited Alphapointe’s Low Vision Clinic. It was quickly identified that he would benefit from other Alphapointe services as well and they helped Demarrius find work as a counselor in the Summer Enrichment Day Camp for children. The placement gave him an avenue to demonstrate his self-initiative and reliability, while continuing to build his skills and capabilities for future work. While working, Demarrius maintained a high GPA and took honors classes. Demarrius also got a jump-start to college through Alphapointe’s PREP program before he began his newest adventure at Hampton University in Virginia, where he received an academic scholarship.
