Have no fear Honorata, our elections at the convention are a 100% democratic elections, with all affiliate members voting for whom they choose. Certainly every member regardless of color, creed, races sex or age will be considered. As we all know anyone can be nominated from the floor. Looking forward to a wonderful convention filled with creativity and camaraderie.

Sincerely,

 Deb Reed

Hello,

I am glad the diversity is mentioned and taken into consideration for the board positions. Unfortunately through the grapevine I am under the impression that five positions may be filled by five older white women from the Plainville chapter?     

I would certainly hope that this is not true, and that consideration is being made for inclusion of representation of various divisions and chapters from around the state. I certainly hope that 

Qualifying Members of different ages, gender, religion, and ethnicity will be on the slate. 

I also hope, that our new board is going to have not only diverse, but also creative and critical thinkers who will not be afraid to disagree, but will be able to respectfully work together on all of the issues concerning our affiliate and our movement 

I also hope, that all candidates exemplify moral and ethical standards.  

I hope that we can demonstrate to the national our dedication to the civil rights movement.  I hope that all participating in a voting process evaluate each candidate through the lens of our constitution and the code of conduct.   

 let’s set high standards for ourselves and others, let’s build the national Federation of the blind of Connecticut!

Sincerely,

Hinorata Kazmierczak

Greetings, from my webmail,
As I had let Phil and Maryanne--and others know--I am traveling and must 
access my e-mail through this webmail.  I have NOT resigned as 
treasurer.  I have completed all duties before leaving town and will be 
back next week prepared to carry on the business of the NFB of 
Connecticut, including providing a treasurer's report at our convention 
and signing our scholarship winner's check.  My term expires at the end 
of the board meeting Sunday morning, November 1.
I have discussed my intentions for running for office with many people 
off this list, and anyone with questions is welcome to contact me 
directly at:
ntwales at omsoft.com <mailto:ntwales at omsoft.com> 
and I will reply Wednesday or Thursday.  It is not appropriate, I think, 
to discuss political intentions on this list per our Expectations of 
Conduct.
Nathanael T. Wales, Treasurer
NFB of Connecticut
