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 Zoom Meeting
