NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF NEBRASKA SENIOR DIVISION SECRETARY'S REPORT

The NFBN Senior Division met via Zoom on Monday, August 9, 2021. 
President Robert Newman called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM CDT. 
Members present were: President Robert Newman, Vice President Barbara 
Loos, Secretary Linda Mentink, Treasurer Cheryl Livingston, Board 
Member Nancy Oltman, Chris Boone, Jo Boshart, Bob Burns, Gina

Halverson, Wes Majerus, Gayle Mason, and Ryan Osentowski from

Robert recited our NFB Pledge. He will recite it again next month.



Wes Majerus talked to us about smart speakers, smart TVS, audio 
descriptions, and free and paid services. He answered many questions.



Linda read the July Secretary's Report. There were no additions or 
corrections, so it will be made a part of the permanent record of the 
organization.



Cheryl read the August Treasurer's Report. It will be made a part of 
the financial record of the organization.



Cheryl reported that we will not be having a State convention in 
October. We're hoping to have one in the spring.



Nancy mentioned that the Medical Device Accessibility Act has been 
introduced. Chris elaborated that it was introduced in the House. She 
urged us to contact our Representative, particularly Jeff Fortenberry 
who wanted to try to get it through the Appropriations Committee.



Robert asked, and Jo explained the features of her Envision glasses. 
She answered questions.



We shared brags and drags.



There was no further business, so we adjourned at 9:03 PM.



Respectfully submitted,



Linda Mentink, Secretary
