<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Hi Melissa,<div><br></div><div>The meetings are sponsored by the Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness (PDRIB) at Louisiana Tech University. Since they have a very close relationship with the Louisiana Center for the Blind, one of our training sessions, I would imagine that teachers from LCB will be involved. Eric Guillory, who is in charge of youth services at LCB, shared the announcement on another list. So perhaps these events would be worth putting on the NFB calendar since one of our training centers is involved, but that is someone else's decision to make. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Chris Nusbaum</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 1, 2020, at 1:28 PM, Melissa Ann Riccobono via MDPOBC <mdpobc@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
