In any event, I write you today about NFBCO committees. The NFBCO Board has established a number of committees to help us get our work done. Below I have identified several of these committees and encourage folks to apply to be active in one or more of these committees. If you are interested, please send us a message indicating which committee/committees in which you are interested. Also, please tell us in a sentence or two why you are applying for a particular committee. We cannot guarantee that everyone will get their first choice. We need to limit the size of some of these committees so that they can remain effective. Please email Lisa with your interests at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:lkb@labarrelaw.com">lkb@labarrelaw.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I ask that you apply for committee service by February 28<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Scott<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(LAC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Legislative Affairs Committee<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This committee will advocate for both state and federal legislation being pursued by the Federation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(TAC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Transportation Affairs Committee<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This committee will examine all aspects of transportation for blind people throughout our state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(FREC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fund Raising Exploratory Committee<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This committee will examine and implement new fund raisers for the NFB of Colorado.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(ROD)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Recruiting Organizing and Development<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This Committee will recruit new members to the NFB of Colorado, organize new chapters, and develop existing chapters.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(MOOP)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Membership Onboarding and Outreach Project <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After we have recruited new members, this committee will help formally onboard new members using the new membership process established by our national organization.
