Hi Cris,   
I am responding to your recent  email on the NFB of Connecticut   listserv  
 concerning  the topics of alleged  unethical  usage of members contact 
information and conflict of interest  by the Presiden.  First,your statement 
pertaining to  registering people with ITN is not and has never been the 
Volunteer  Coordinator’s responsibility  .  The Executive Director is  
responsible for registration of individuals who are interested in receiving  
transportation from ITN. I am aware of the job duties which are specified in  the job 
  description because  I am also a Volunteer Coordinator with The 
Independent Transportation Network  of Northcentral Connecticut. Based upon the 
above-mentioned  facts, there is no conflict of interest on the part of the 
President or me. .  I also didn’t realize sharing  information with fellow 
Federationists   in northcentral Connecticut constituted unethical behavior.  
Denial of access to information about available  alternative transportation is  
unethical because it is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act 
and  the Civil Rights Act.     Since most of the towns in northcentral 
Connecticut are rural, it is imperative that  visually impaired/blind individuals 
and seniors who reside there  have access to  information about alternative  
transportation in order to live independently.   
Furthermore, had you been  subjected to both the wrongful and harmful 
alligations  which you previously  mentioned,including defamation of character,  I
’m sure you would have demanded an  apology in writing.  We, the  members 
of the NFB of Connecticut  need to be a strong organization by  solving 
problems rather than causing them.  
Sincerely,  
Barbara Blejewski
