[nagdu] The membership has spoken, and I am disappointed

True. But in theory anyway, a resulotion means that the makers will be actively encouraging change! And that the hope is that the outcome of the resolution will resolve the problem.

Larry,

No, this isn't what a resolution does.  The guide dog schools are not operated by the NFB and we have no authority to change the way they operate. 
We do have the power to educate, communicate and ask that they change their policies. That is all a resolution does, is to guide the organization in it's efforts.

If the resolution had passed, schools would have to give you ownership of your dog after completion of your training! They couldn't take the dog without due process.

Hi, all.

I mean no disrespect here. I’m just seeking to understand the resolution better.

So, if it had passed, how would this have affected the schools? For example, if I chose to go to a school that did not grant immediate ownership, how would this resolution have helped me? My understanding is that the guide dog schools are independent entities. How does this resolution get them to change their policies?

Curiously,
Shannon and the Acelet
