Convocation 2025

The theme for this year's Convocation was "The Heartbeat of AIDB," focusing on employees being the core and strength of the Institute. President Dennis Gilliam introduced Jeff Gaskin, Sr. Vice President for Morgan Stanley and AIDB Foundation Board Member (former President for 10 years) who shared his family's experience with AIDB when their son Brian Gaskin came to Helen Keller School (HKS). Brian who is DeafBlind came to AIDB at the age of 10 and attended HKS for ten plus years. Jeff said AIDB is special because of all the people who work here and "You have embraced a SPECIAL MISSION - You are committed to the development of a very special group of young people and adults - people who have vision, hearing and developmental challenges."

AIDB also heard testimonials from individuals across the organization as to why AIDB had created opportunity for them to succeed and saw inspirational videos from alumnus.
