[IL-Talk] national convention information

[president at nfbofillinois.org]

The start of our national convention is just 7 days away and I want to provide some info for those who will be with us in New Orleans and were unable to attend the June state board meeting:

 

1.	Our Illinois caucus is Thursday, July 10 at 7:30am in Salon B. Please bring your banquet ticket to the caucus if you would like to sit with members of our Illinois delegation. Michelle Ault will handle the banquet exchange for us. Feel free to contact Michelle if you have questions about the procedures for the exchange.
2.	Due to a limited number of people being present for the first night of convention, the traditional social on the first night of convention was cancelled but I encourage people to get together while at convention. It is an excellent way to network with members who we only see in-person once or twice a year.

 

Feel free to reach out to me off list if you have questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing everyone in NOLO as we do the work of the federation and let the good times roll! 😊
