[NAGDU] Nagdu meeting at National Convention

Wed May 31 22:36:17 UTC 2017

Heather, welcome to the club. I am putting together one of the seminars for the NOPBC division which is taking place on, you guessed it, Monday. Also, I know many people want to attend the VFO Seminars that day. There are a lot of new things going on with Jaws and Zoom Text. I think you have the right idea. You need to delegate and have some people go on your behalf to take notes and then everyone can put their heads together and share their experiences and the outcome of those meetings. I still think that the cloning idea is the best approach. :-) if only that were true.

I am a guide dog handler, a blind parent, a parent of a blind child, a chapter president, a blind social work major, and... *banging my head against the wall* I really really wish that seminar day was two or three days long. The best I can do is to have other members of my chapter also attending go to the various meetings and we can all take notes and share with one another and find the streaming audio of the lectures, presentations and other content whenever possible. I will go to the NAGDU presentations this year, but then if I go next year, I really should go to NOPBC, and perhaps the year after Blind Parents, and so on and so forward. It is really tough though. Its sort of like being punished for being well-rounded, *smile*

>> The best solution I have found with national convention and all of the meetings is to make a quick jump into the future where cloning is popular. Bring back a clone with you and instruct him or her to attend the other meetings at the same time you are going to your preferred ones. Smile anyway seriously, that is one of the more difficult choices to make. Especially on Monday which is generally seminar day. Regarding our own seminar, I would suggest that even if you currently do not have a guide dog, you can still certainly attend if you wish. After all, blind people can have dogs whether they are guides or pets.
