[Mi-abs] Fwd: IMPORTANT PLZ READ & FWD 2 UR DIVISIONS

[Jeff C]

Dear student division members.
I am passing along a message from our good friend and VP of NABS Syed Rizvi.
If your interested in getting involved with the Michigan Association of Blind Students please call 810-366-1440 or email students at nfb.org
Thanks for reading.
 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
Thanks and warmest regards.
Jeff Crouch
Board Member: National Federation of the Blind of Michigan

> The NABS Board and I want this convention to be the best convention ever. You know that convention is all about making friends and strong connections. But there is so much going on, sometimes it can be hard to track us down to hangout. Therefore, we have two ways in which we would like to connect with each and every single one of you and your constituents.
> 
> First, below you will find a link to our mentorship program. We will be connecting students with one another and professionals. We expect every student who hopes to get the most out of convention to participate.

> Second, we want you to play an active role in all our events, based upon your talents we would like to include you in one of our volunteer teams. It is a great way to make friends, connect with the NABS board and be engaged. In order to join a team, please text me at 413-250(3523) with your name and telling me that you would like to be part of NABS 19.
> 
> Please forward this message to your student bodies and to any blind students who will be attending convention. Please do not hesitate to text or email me with any questions and or concerns.

> Looking forward to seeing you all in Vegas!
