>At our convention a few weeks ago, we accidentally skipped the 
>election of a board position that has previously been held by Jan 
>Bailey of Rochester. To fill this position and in accordance with 
>our restated bylaws, I am calling a special meeting of the affiliate 
>to occur immediately prior to our board meeting on Monday, December 
>4 at 6pm. The meeting will take place in the NFB Conference Room at 
>our headquarters: 100 East22nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 555404.

>Because we need at least 30 members present to conduct business, I 
>am asking that you please 
><https://forms.gle/AqNVozbYWpq4QZfv6>complete this quick, 
>three-question form to let us know if you will attend by next 
>Friday. It's crucial that as many people attend in person as 
>possible so that we can conduct the election by secret ballot.

>Jan is interested in continuing to serve in this role. If you are 
>interested in being considered for the position, I would be happy to 
>speak with you about the responsibilities and answer any questions 
>ahead of the meeting, at which we will follow our practice of 
>calling for nominations from the floor.

>While the circumstances for our special meeting are unique, I am 
>excited for you to participate in our board meeting, where we will 
>be discussing funding for Washington Seminar, our upcoming
