<div>Hey Rob,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I remember how you did a great job as convention committee chair in 2013, so I'm glad to have you serving once again.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think the resume writing and job development component is a phenomenal idea. It is interesting, it helps blind people live the lives we want, and it focuses on a process.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think learning about tax deductions is a great thing, but I am skeptical about whether the best way to go about it is to put someone on the agenda to talk about it. Especially since it's money, I think a compact way to obtain that nugget of information
would be more appropriate. Maybe having someone as an exhibitor would be a good fit, but I think people could even be well served by a simple flyer or pamphlet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also think that the employment related presenter could be more in line with the philosophy that we want to teach. I support the idea of helping people with both of these reas, but I believe the employment related one will build more confidence in people.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for asking!</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello to all of my NFB friends<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Speaking to you as the Chairman of this year’s convention committee, I was looking for a little input. I am planning to have seminars on Friday afternoon. I would like to bring in a person to help with resume writing and job development.
Also, since visually impaired and blind individuals have some tax deductions that some of us may not be aware of, I would like to bring in person to talk about this.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to take a poll to see how many people would be interested in attending.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please respond to me as soon as you can and let me know if you would be interested in either one or both.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your help! And I look forward to seeing all of you at this year’s convention on the weekend of November 6,7 and 8<o:p></o:p></p>
