Central Arizona Council of the Blind (Phoenix area)
The Central Chapter of the AZCB serves AZCB members, and other people who are blind or visually impaired, in the Phoenix metropolitan area and throughout Maricopa County.
Meetings and Social Gatherings
The chapter meets about monthly. We typically hold our business meetings on Zoom during odd-numbered months (January, March, May, and so forth), and we hold in-person social events during even-numbered months (February, April, June, and so forth). Members are encouraged to attend, and all are invited. If you wish to be notified of upcoming chapter meetings and events, subscribe to our Central Chapter email list by sending a blank email to AZ-Central+subscribe@acblists.org.
What We Do

Southern Arizona Chapter (Tucson area)
Our vibrant Tucson chapter seeks to provide support through fellowship, advocacy, and socialization for members in the Tucson and Southern Arizona region, and it is our goal to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for members to connect with other blind and visually impaired individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds.
Our chapter meets online on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm, all are welcome. We also hold an in-person social event and a blindness support group once a month for members. We understand the value in providing an opportunity outside of chapter meetings for members to gather and share their experiences of blindness and visual impairment. We also intend to support our individual members in their homes via service projects and outreach because we believe that our members are more than just members, they are individuals with needs who are part of our wider community.
We understand that everyone is at different stages with their blindness and visual impairment and strive to always ensure a safe, friendly, and respectful environment for everyone who joins our chapter and activities.
