Hi LaKeisha,
If she would accept my recommendation, I would suggest Arielle
Silverman. She is very familiar with Washington Seminar, as she
has shown in her posts to this list, and I think she would be a
great resource for your students. Hope this helps and good luck
in finding speakers! By the way, I couldn't help but notice that
you have the "real problem of blindness" quote from Dr. Jernigan
in your email signature! I finally found a person who has that
quote in their signature besides me; yea! * Smile!
Chris
"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists. If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind,
1968-1986
The I C.A.N. Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions
which help them be equal with their sighted peers. For more

Teleconference
Good afternoon,
My name is LaKeisha Holmes and I was recently elected as
president of the Georgia Association of Blind Students. We have
teleconferences every fourth Sunday of each month geared towards
different topics. Our teleconference next month will be focusing
on Washington Seminar. I would like for our students to hear
from a fellow student who has experienced the Washington Seminar
and who is familiar with the three legislative topics for this
upcoming seminar. If you are interested in speaking with the
Georgia students, please contact me at lakeisha.renee at gmail.com.
Thank you
LaKeisha Holmes
