Greetings,
In regards to Jeri Siqueiros being elected as 1st VP, I think that she would
bring motivation, inspiration, dedication, and leadership to the CABS board.
Jeri is always willing to do anything that is asked of her with a smile.
Jeri is a team player, and most of all I have seen her grow in taking
ownership of her disability.
I met Jeri for the first time a year and a half ago at our first convention.
Both of us came to the NFB through the Student Leadership Program. I
remember meeting her at the Ontario Airport for the first time. she was
scared because she had never traveled before with her blindness.
At the end of that weekend Jeri gained the confidence to reach for the stars
and achieve independence. She has continued to strive to grow and help
others along the way.
Jeri! I just want to say that you have my vote! I hope that others will vote
for you as well. I look forward in seeing you to continue to achieve bigger
and better things.
Good luck,
Pam Chase
CABS Second VP
