<p class="MsoNormal">Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Several individuals have shared concerns about the 2024 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) in terms of lack of accessibility and 508 compliance issues. The National Association of Blind Government Employees is asking for your help:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Please prioritize taking the FEVS as soon as you can (we understand most agencies are now in the open period, but some may be on a later schedule);<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Please note any accessibility or 508 challenges you experience;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Please share those challenges with me via email to
<a href="mailto:rothmanjd@gmail.com">rothmanjd@gmail.com</a>;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Please consider filing a 508 complaint with OPM and your employing agency (it’s helpful to file in both places). You can file with OPM using the email address
<a href="mailto:FEVS@OPM.gov">FEVS@OPM.gov</a>.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind
people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back<o:p></o:p></p>
