[nabs-l] Tonight's Conference Call Will Be Streamed Live On The Internet!

Tue May 11 01:32:21 UTC 2010

Yes, I have also listened to the archive of the phone call as well, and I am equally impressed about what was discussed during the call as well as the idea to archive it for future references. I like the idea of the conference calls, but they do not always fit into my schedule. 

I have noticed a recent thread about volunteering, and I know that many students participate in internship opportunities during the summer. I cannot remember if this topic has already been discussed during one of the conference calls or not, but perhaps this could be a topic for one of the future conference calls.

I am planning on working on a congressional campaign this summer, and I am a bit nervous because this will be my first real job experience as a blind person outside the realms of the National Federation of the Blind. I would love the opportunity to hear from those who have experienced a similar situation, and how they dealt with some of their first professional job experiences.
