[nabs-l] Webcasting the NFB national convention career seminar. Who wants to help?

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Jim and all,

My understanding is that there is already going to be a general
employment seminar at the convention on Friday, July 3. At least
that's what's happened in past years. NABS isn't going to  compete
with this annual career seminar, although we can certainly talk about
hosting a  job-related podcast or seminar during a different part of
the year.

I believe the Affiliate Action department will also be hosting an
advocacy seminar sometime during convention. Again, I haven't seen the
agenda for this year, but am basing this on tradition from the seven
other national conventions I've attended thus far.

Arielle Silverman
First Vice-President, NABS
