She was our B.E.L.L coordinator, and currently serves as the Connecticut students division treasurer. She also is the editor of our NFB newsletter. Catherine attends college outside of Connecticut, and she is finding it increasingly difficult to attend our quarterly board meetings. Because of this, Catherin feels strongly that the board position she currently occupies, should go to a member that is in Connecticut.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am pleased to welcome Mary Silverberg to Connecticut’s affiliate board. Mary has worked tirelessly on legislative issues for the NFB. She has had countless meetings with senators and representatives at the local level, as well as nationally. She has been attending Washington seminar for the last three years, and is well known with local politicians as a strong advocate for the rights of the blind. Please welcome Mary to the board.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Edward Shaham,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NFB of CT<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
