[NAGDU] Advocacy Around Flying

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello Michael and others interested. We will definitely have updates 
concerning flying with your guide dog, the forms, and what NAGDU has 
been doing.

The NAGDU seminar and business meetings will definitely have this 
discussion in the agenda. We look forward to seeing you there in person, 
but if you can't come in person, you can still join via Zoom. Once the 
agendas are finalized, they will be shared on our lists. Meanwhile, I 
highly encourage you to register for one or both of the meetings. You an 
find the details from the following link.

Thanks.
