<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Good morning NFBI,<div><br></div><div>First, I have been having some email difficulties, and it looks like some of the emails I sent this week did not actually make it out, so sorry if either you\u2019ve actually seen this info multiple times, or it\u2019s the first time you\u2019re seeing it. </div><div><br></div><div>Director Cervenka has begun proposing significant changes to some of the Iowa Department for the Blind\u2019s programming. For example, she wants sleepshades to be optional for all orientation center training. I have attached a PowerPoint and word document below that IDB distributed for a different event where they attempt to explain the reasoning for this change. At Monday\u2019s call we will be hearing from Director Cervenka and ask questions regarding her plans for the agency. This is an opportunity to hear directly from her about her vision, goals, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>As a reminder, if you have questions you would like to ask director Cervenka, please send them to me today so that I have time to compile them in a manner that allows us to use our time as efficiently as possible. Thank you to everyone who has already sent questions.</div><div><br></div><div>Helen</div><div><br></div><div><div>
