[BlindTlk] NFB-CAPB Our Agenda

[Jennifer Dunnam via NFB-CAPB]

All,

The agenda is pasted below. As you will see, it is packed; not only that,
but there were additional folks asking to be on the agenda. I have learned
that there is a bit of cushion in the meeting space availability if the
meeting needs to run over, but we won’t go past 12:15 if that. Maybe next
year’s committee will need a longer time slot.

Anyway, thanks so, so much to everyone who helped come up with ideas and
resources for this meeting. Talk with you tomorrow.
