Fellow Federationists:

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as Legislative Coordinator of the National
Federation of the Blind of Connecticut.  As we all know, I have climbed the
ladder of life and am now pursuing my dreams at the University of Wisconsin.
I will always be from Connecticut, but I continue to transition my
Federation involvement to our Wisconsin affiliate.

 

Edward Shaham has shined as a rising leader in our affiliate, and he and I
attended our first state convention together in 2008.  As soon as President
Beth Rival and I knew that I would be making my transition, we began
equipping Edward with the knowledge he needed to carry the torch and bring
our affiliate to an entirely new level of legislative activism.

 

The appointment is not mine to make; it is up to Beth Rival to appoint our
next Legislative Coordinator.  I wish to express my sincere endorsement of
Edward and look forward to working with him to change what it means to be
blind in Connecticut.  As a successful entrepreneur, he brings new skills to
the table and will enhance our effort to achieve equality, opportunity, and
security for the blind.

 

I will continue to serve on the Legislative Committee of the National
Federation of the Blind of Connecticut and will be fully available to assist
with the transition.  Rest assured, I will put my heart and soul into my new
role as Legislative Coordinator of the National Federation of the Blind of
Wisconsin.

 

It is now in the hands of our President, Beth Rival.  If Edward is indeed
appointed Legislative Coordinator, we can expect great things.  If another
candidate is selected, I will respect that decision, as well, and look
forward to our future.  Thank you, my home affiliate, for your support and
confidence as I have found a true passion in legislative advocacy.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Justin Salisbury

Former Legislative Coordinator

The National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut
