[nabs-l] Behavior of Membership

[Ashley Bramlett]

Jeanie,

Were you running in the election?  What was your role if any?
I was not at convention so this is news to me.  Its unfortunate that 
students were rude not only in the election but while speakers were 
presenting.  What happened?
Were they speaking and having side conversations?

One thing that bothers me about NFB conventions is the behavior of the 
members.  So this isn't just a nabs thing.  Audience members have side 
conversations while speakers present.  Cell phones go off and this disrupts 
the presentation.  In discussions sometimes people have been cut off by each 
other.  I don't know what the rude and unruly behavior was you refer to. 
Let's just hope though that they learn from their mistakes and behave in a 
more curteous way next time.  Any one can walk into the meeting and it 
should present a positive image of us acting respectfully and carrying out 
things in an age appropriate manner.

Ashley
