[Massachusetts-NFB] IMPORTANT!!!! Convention Caucus, free lunch and resolutions

Tue Jun 20 23:00:20 UTC 2023

Good Evening NFB Of Massachusetts members,

I hope all of you are as excited as I am about our upcoming National
Convention in Houston! One of the most important things about our National
Convention is that, this is the time to let our voices be heard. We have a
resolutions committee that reviews and votes on the items that will be
presented during our General sessions. At the General Sessions, I will be
asked to vote as a whole, how the Massachusetts affiliate wants to vote, on
said resolutions. So what you think and how you would like to be represented
is very important. 

If you will be attending in  person, this is easy. Just attend the
resolution Committee meeting at 1:00 Central time in Houston and then on
Monday, join us for lunch and tell me what you think. Of course, we will go
with the majority on each issue. 

However, if you are attending the convention virtually, this becomes a bit
more tricky. I have pasted the Zoom information below, so that you may
attend the Resolutions committee meeting. But you will not be able to join
us for lunch. Therefore, on Monday, July 3 at 3PM Eastern time, I will hold
a short zoom meeting just for you. You can tell me how you feel about the
resolutions that will be presented during general sessions. It will be
important for you to have attended the resolutions committee meeting on
Sunday to fully understand the resolution. I will not have a lot of time, as
I am representing you in Houston. So,  being punctilious and brief is of
upmost importance The virtual MA Caucus zoom information is as follows: Join
