[nabs-l] NABS Leadership Update

[Ashley Bramlett]

Joeseph,

Are you the president of your student division in Oregon?  I thought so or 
at least you had a board position there.  If so, you can be a leader in your 
state and serve on nabs focus groups if you wanted to do something national.

Arielle has partly answered my question on what the fued is about and why 
some might be angry.

She said
"In the past we used
standing votes and trusted that all voters were paid members."
This year you required a card proving you were a member to vote.  This is an 
interesting experiment.  All nfb elections I seen at the local and state 
level do voice and standing votes.  Another way is raising hands to count 
them by someone who can see.  We don't require proof of membership; never 
been an issue.  We do have visitors often to the meetings and not everyone 
attends meetings consistently; so I lose track of who is a member and a 
guest!  Anyway I hope you move forward united.
