[nagdu] NAGDU and NFB centers

Marsha, 
I think you had it right, the pannel as it is described will be
compromised not comprised. 
This looks like a question and answer session not a discussion where
anybody's minds well be changed. If there is any mind-changing to be
had, the implication at least as I understand it will be solely on the
part of the dog users, not the staff of the centers. 
I think this is what Angie is getting at.

Angie,
The panel would be compromised of staff from the centers, LCB, CCB,
BlindInc, and Iowa. We as guide dog users are there to ask questions to
those people, so that we can better understand what the centers think of
guide dog users, how they want us to participate and more. If others
from the NFB who are not guide users want to join us too, then they are
welcome too. I guess I am not understanding what you are wanting. We are
not going to put something together that is going to be a waste of time.
And yes it is not going to be a knock out, drag out sort of discussion,
it will be of questions and answers. Maybe I don't get it, so someone
explain it to me please.
Marsha

Hi Marsha,

If "everyone" thinks this way, why do you think that is? I don't think
it's because everyone in the organization is "anti-dog," but if lots of
people think we *are,* then I'd submit that we have (for lack of a
better term) a PR problem.

>answer questions, to finally put this issue to rest.

Then, with all due respect, I think you would be failing to take the
most advantage of a good opportunity. I don't propose a knock-down
drag-out fight where each side clings doggedly (sorry, couldn't resist)
to a predetermined mantra. But when you have a chance to get some
dialogue going, simply allowing one group to state its case just doesn't
seem to be the best use of time. 

Respectfully,

Angie
