A resident of Bothell, Washington, Jon Schorsch is a former sergeant with the Port of Seattle Police Department. Dedicated to helping others, Jon Schorsch has been volunteering with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) since 2007.

Founded in 1940, the NFB is the country’s oldest and largest nationwide organization dedicated to helping people who are blind achieve their dreams. The organization provides people who are visually impaired with access to local and nationwide networks, opportunities to work with other people who are blind, and technology to help people who are visually impaired lead active and productive lives. In addition, the NFB offers free access to the world’s largest audio information service for the blind and 30 national scholarships to outstanding students who are blind.

On January 30, 2018, members of the National Federation of the Blind hosted a reception at the Newseum in Washington, DC. The event honored John Olson’s work in developing tactile fine art printing. The exhibit showcased tactile renderings of photos, with audio activated by touch sensors embedded in the prints.
