[Home-on-the-Range] Questions re-streaming of resolutions committee meeting and other convention activities

[Rob Tabor]

Greetings again,

This will respond to questions that have arisen as to how to connect online to the resolutions committee meeting at 1:00 PM today. Unfortunately, the national president and board have decided not to hybridize the convention as they thought it would encourage people to come to the convention in person. Thus, there are no zoom links to any part of the convention proceedings.

In general, there are two ways to Connect to online convention activities. You may use the crowd compass mobile app to do so, which you will need to download and install if you do not already have it. The second method is to stream the audio of the convention through Newsline. The procedure for doing so is posted below.

Specifically as to the resolutions committee, it may or may not be possible to connect to the resolutions committee through either method. If you find this to be the case, the only thing I can advise you to do is to read the resolutions on the national website by using the link which I posted earlier today. with respect to division and committee meetings in general, it will be a hit and miss process as the weather a remote connection will be possible. Unfortunately, this is the best that I can offer.

Best regards,
Rob Tabor | first vice president/legislative Director national Federation of the blind of Kansas
