Dave,
Would you kindly post this message to the NFB presidents list.  I can post
it to the POBC Presidents list.
Thank you,
Carol

Dear NFB and POBC Presidents,

The National Organization of Parents of Blind Children is seeking
recommendations for our next Parent Leadership Program--PLP--to be held at
the 2014 Washington Seminar. Do you have a new parent who shows the
commitment and leadership potential to help build the parents division in
your state?  If so, please send us the name and contact information and we
will send an invitation for the parent to become a part of the PLP.  Please
send us names & contact info by Nov. 12.  Parents from your state who are
already in the program will also be sent invitations.  We hope that your
affiliate or state POBC can assist in getting the parent to DC.
Unfortunately, we can no longer provide funding.  

The PLP operates over two years and consists of special workshops and
training sessions, mentoring, phone conferences, and opportunities to meet
key Federation leaders and see the Federation in action.  We empower parents
with the critical leadership and advocacy skills they need to build a strong
state division of the NOPBC.  Our main events take place at the NFB national
convention and at the Washington Seminar.  

Since 2006, the PLP has been a very effective program for building the
Federation and spreading Federation philosophy to families across the
nation.  If you are not sending a parent but you would like to help support
the program, we would welcome and be most appreciative of your donation.

We look forward to hearing about potential leaders from your state.  We will
keep you informed as to who accepts the PLP invitation.  Thanks so much for
your help!

Carol
