[nabs-l] Announcing NABS 2014 Candidates Forum

[James Hulme]

Hello, Mary Fernandez,


I would like to participate in asking the candidates questions. Please
either send me the link to surveymonkey or please send me the moderator and
his/her contact info. off list. I appreciate all the effort you do for NABS
in putting together this event for people running for the president of
NABS. Justin Salisbury is already one candidate.


Who runs NABS in the state of NJ?? Who is the president of New Jersey
Assoc. of Blind Students? No one seems to respond to any phone calls made
to the NJABS president anymore. I would like to attend their meetings in
the future.

Anyways, I congratulate you on your change in position in occupation. Great
job!!


Thanks for the informative e-mail you have already sent regarding NABS.
Have a wonderful day!!

Please respond back and stay in touch.
