Federationists:

 

We need your assistance. Please contact me or Clara as soon as possible.

 

The greatest asset the National Federation of the Blind possesses is our
membership.  In an effort to continue to ensure that our voices are heard in
the evaluation and development of accessible biotechnology tools and
strategies, we are recruiting participants for a focus group on health,
mobility, and navigation on Monday, January 26 from 8:30 to 12:30 at the
Holiday Inn Capitol. This is the morning of the Great Gathering In of our
Washington Seminar. There is only room for 20 participants, so interested
individuals should contact Clara Van Gerven at (410)659 9314 x2410 or at
<mailto:cvangerven at nfb.org> cvangerven at nfb.org, as soon as possible. Whether
or not you are able to participate, you are encouraged to take the time to
complete, and share, the survey referenced below.  

 

The Therapeutic Research Foundation (TRF) has enlisted the assistance of the
National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute, the only research and
training institute developed and directed by blind people, to create a
survey on health, mobility, and navigation. TRF is inviting blind and
low-vision participants to take the survey to help them create the next
generation of navigational tools. The data gathered will be used
specifically to do research and development, so please consider taking the
time to complete the questionnaire and help them build a device that will
serve your needs. Depending on your responses, the survey will take 5-15
minutes, and your impact will shape the future of the project.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
