I would also try to get somebody from the governmental affairs
team at the national center, maybe John
Parè or Jesse Hartle, to discuss in greater detail the issues for
this year; they're experts after all! * Smile!

Teleconference
Hi Chris,
Thank you for recommending me; I appreciate it. Since Mary is a
past
president of GABS, I think she is probably a more appropriate
person
to do the presentation. Also, I admit that while I have been to
lots
of Washington Seminars, I don't know what our three issues are
this
year. Have the priorities been published yet?
Best,
Arielle

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!

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
President
Georgia Association of Blind Students
