[nabs-l] On-line "get a job" seminar

[Angela fowler]

Well, if the web seminar isn't during convention, if it is... Say, in the
middle of winter when nothing else is happening, the NFB shouldn't have a
problem with it. We need to do more online outreach stuff anyway.

Hello,
Many peole keep mentioning that there will be an employment seminar at the
national convention. They seem to be missing the point of a web seminar. Not
all (do I dare say most?) blind people will be unable to go to the national
convention due to schedule conflicts, family commitments, financial issues,
or they simply have no interest in going to Detroit in mid-summer.

 I'm sure a web seminar would run counter to the NFB's stratagy of offering
the employment seminar as an attraction drawing people to the national
convention; to that I say "so what?". What a web seminar would do is provide
everyone access to the necisary information; not just those who can afford
to attend the convention.  

Unfourtunatly, I have no skills or knowledge in disability law, nor do I
have any knowledge on how to put on a web seminar. Hopefully someone with
more knowledge or experience within these realms will take this idea and run
with it. I would be willing to help, but I'm afraid I would be of little
use.

Jim
