[nabs-l] AAPD internship question

Salutations Michael, I hope this response finds you well. 
It is not customary to be given time away from an internship. Typically they
are anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks long, and are intended to be very focused.
Perhaps, you may be able to justify participation in the convention as part
of the internship, but depending upon what facility you are placed in that
may or may not be a possibility.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you bac.

Hello Nabsters,
	I was wondering, have any of you attended the AAPD internship
program in Washington D.C.? The reason that I am asking, is because I am
contemplating applying. However, I want to go to national convention, and I
am unsure if I would have the opportunity to do so, if I apply and am
selected. So, my question, I suppose, is:
Has anyone attended, and knows if someone can take the week off to go to
national convention?
Best,
Michael Ausbun
