[Colorado-Talk] NFBCO Needs Your Help

[kevan at nfbco.org]

Greetings,

 

As I hope you know, the annual state convention of the National Federation
of the Blind of Colorado will occur in Fort Collins Thursday evening,
October 31, through Sunday morning, November 3. We are counting on our
members, NFBCO chapters and divisions, supporters, allies, professionals in
the field of blindness to help us provide amazing and informative programing
for Friday and Saturday of the assembly. Please consider and share widely.
Please encourage your colleagues to consider providing workshops and
seminars. Jessica Beecham is NFBCO Board Secretary. Jessica is managing this
process. Here is what she says; 

Request for Proposals

The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado is seeking content for our
2019 State Convention seminars and breakout sessions. Seminars and breakout
sessions will be held on Friday November 1 and Saturday November 2 at our
State Convention in Ft. Collins. The National Federation of the Blind is
made up of blind people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
This year we are seeking new and dynamic content that will appeal to our
diverse audience. If there is something fun, exciting, interesting,
intriguing, evocative, educational, or stimulating that you would like to
share with the blind of Colorado, their families, or professionals in the
field of blindness,  please fill out the information below and email it to
Jessica Beecham  <mailto:jbbeecham at gmail.com> jbbeecham at gmail.com by
September 6. We will review all proposals and will let you know by September
23 whether your proposal/seminar has been chosen as a part of this year's
Convention festivities.

 

If you have attended a convention of the National Federation of the Blind in
the past, you know that often we have a large number of breakout sessions
simultaneously. This year our aim is quality over quantity so please give us
as much detail as possible about your session and how it will enhance the
Convention. Please note, we will be choosing the presentations that best fit
the agenda and not all proposals will be selected.

Founded in 1955, The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado is the
oldest and largest organization of Colorado citizens who are blind or
visually impaired. The National Federation of the Blind 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.

 

At Your Service,

Kevan Worley
