Melissa, 

I have known you for quite some time now and I have noticed that you are not only a genuine, kind, and sincere friend, but you are also a very hardworking, diligent, and passionate leader that shows tremendous and fantastic leadership. You are always willing to help assist when people have questions or comments and you are not afraid to jump in to give them a hand in helping them. I am also very impressed on how awesome you did after tirelessly compiling the list of the NABS Notes the past several months. With that said, Melissa, you have my vote and support for the position of secretary for the National Association of Blind Students. There is no one else that deserves this amazing opportunity and you will have a phenomenal experience. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you will achieve this goal of yours. 

Melissa Carney for Secretary of NABS 

Best, 
Matthew Gip 
President | California Association of Blind Students
