Subject: Speakers at MABS Seminar

Hi guys,

I have some ideas for speakers at our seminar.  Here are
some of them:

Sean Whalen - talking about what NABS is doing and the
importance of
staying connecting to the student division nationally
(feadback
encouraged)
State National Rep - maybe as a motivator; staying
connected with the
state, staying connected to national (feadback encouraged)
Max Duckler (president of CaptionMax) - what CaptionMax
is, and what
they do; tied in with the importance of audio description
(feadback
encouraged)
Richard Strong - what is SSB doing?  what can you do to
help?
(feadback encouraged)

These are merely my ideas of what can be discussed at the
meeting.
Maybe we could make time for Q&A after each speaker.

Jean, I wonder if you, as acting president and 1st Vice
President,
could give maybe a "state of the student state address."
I wonder if we might want another student pannel.  Maybe
you, Anne,
and Kotumu kamara.  Maybe we could try to get Kelby
Carlson on the
pannel as well as he is in his senior year of high school.

Just some ideas to think about,
Thanks in advance for any feadback,
Jordan
