Panel!

Hello everyone,



Are you a student who would like to change the world?



Bookshare is actively recruiting two student representatives to 
join the national Bookshare Education Advisory Panel.  The 
Advisory Panel brings together accessibility and education 
experts from around the country to guide and inform the efforts 
of Bookshare, the largest on-line library of accessible e-books 
in the world.  The student representatives play a key role on the 
Advisory Panel and their input is highly valued.



The Advisory Panel meets four times a year.  Three of the 
meetings are phone conferences, and once a year, the entire board 
meets in person.



These students will advise the Panel on matters of accessibility 
and the use of Bookshare by college and university students.  We 
are looking for candidates who can represent students with print 
disabilities who use assistive technologies for reading.



We would like to submit our final candidate choices to the 
Department of Education by mid January for their approval.  If 
you are an interested student or know of a student who would be a 
good representative, please let them know about this exciting 
opportunity and forward my contact information.



Requirements

*        Student must be currently enrolled in a post secondary 
course of study

*        Student must be a Bookshare member

*        Student must be 18 years of age or older



If you have questions, please feel free to contact Cherie Miller, 
University Program Manager at Bookshare.
