The National Association of Guide Dog Users would like to invite you to 
our next Guide Dog Matters seminar. This is a one-hour presentation on a 
specific topic related to guide dog users. The seminar typically takes 
place on the third Sunday of every month unless otherwise noted. For 
those who are not able to attend, the presentation will be recorded and 
shared on the list as well as the NAGDU Facebook page.

This month's topic is, "Reading NAGDU's proposed resolutions for this 
year's national convention."
NAGDU would like to take this time to read the draft of the proposed 
resolutions that have been submitted to the NFB's resolutions committee. 
This will be the opportunity for people to find out the nature of the 
resolutions and ask questions about them. Please keep in mind that the 
final wording of the resolutions will most likely change based on what 
the resolutions committee says. Also, this is no guarantee that the 
committee will adopt the resolutions, nor that the convention will vote 
to approve them.
It is our hope that members, guide dog users and non-guide dog users, 
will ask questions about these resolutions so they can make the best 
choice when it comes time to voting for them during convention this 
year. NAGDU is planning on having a town hall meeting about these 
resolutions in June and in July before the general sessions where people 
can ask further questions about them.
Right now, there are three proposed resolutions:
1. Resolution concerning accessible information from guide dog schools.
2. Resolution concerning due process involving repossession and removing 
guide dogs from handler's possession.
3. Resolution calling on the International Guide Dog Federation to adopt 
standards concerning the rights of guide dog handlers.


Date: Sunday, May 16, 2021.
Time: 3 PM Eastern. (This calculates as 2 PM Central, 1 PM Mountain, 12 
noon Pacific, and 11 AM Alaska.)
Where: Zoom.
