Dr. Elly du Pre

Dr. Elly du Pré began managing the AER Accreditation Program in April 2020. Her career began as an Orientation and Mobility specialist and included management of an assistive technology program, and executive director of Lighthouse of Broward and Florida Agencies Serving the Blind. She also has served on various boards, including ACVREP and Success Beyond Sight, and national committees such as the Access to Quality Services committee of VisionServe Alliance. All these connections shared a common theme—building quality services for people who are blind or have low vision. Being a part of the AER Accreditation Program is a chance to bring together these various lifelong interests and keeps her from just being the crazy old lady with cats in her retirement. Elly lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL and spends her free time outdoors as much as possible.
