[Community-service] Fwd: [nabs-l] Teach for America

[Michelle Clark]

Last year at convention, I questioned if the push that the NFB had for
persons to teach the visually impaired would/could be considered from
teachers from this program and did not get an answer. The inference from
your note indicates that it would as it includes all disciplines.

With that being the case it is really good for our cause.
