[NABS-L] New NABS Group!

[Veronica R Gaspa]

While I understand where Chelsea is coming from, I have never seen a policy that says we need approval to create social media groups, and Facebook is an open forum. I was just taking initiative, and if people want to join both groups, there is no reason they cant. Furthermore, this was not created to conflict with the other group, this is simply a different style of group. No matter what social media approach we choose to take, we are all in it for the same reason, to build the National Federation of the Blind and the blindness community!
Best,
Vee Gaspa

Hello all,
Shouldn’t this be done with NFB and NABS approval? For example, the group created has approval.
