[nabs-l] Why Are You a Member of the NFB?

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

It appears to me that I have started to become a rather disheartened member
of the NFB. Although, I am sure some of you would argue that I am already
there. Anyway, as I try to work through the questions that seem to keep
rumbling through my mind, I thought I would ask a few questions to spur on
some discussion on this email list. 

Why do you choose to be a member of the National Federation of the Blind? If
you believe your experience with the National Federation of the blind is a
positive one, what do you believe are the key factors that you believe makes
your experience positive rather than negative? And finally, what do you
believe are the current strengths of the National Federation of the Blind as
it looks into the future?

Please feel free to answer any or all of the questions, or any other
question related to these ones. If you feel as though you relate more to
being a member of the National Association of Blind Students rather than the
National Federation of the Blind as a whole, you can answer these questions
from this point of view as well.

I look forward to hearing your responses.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
