[Nebraska-Students] Five Days Until Fun with Federationists!

[Jamie K. Richey]

Greetings Friends!

 

Can you believe convention is just five days away?  For those arriving at
New Orleans on Monday July 4th, you can start testing tomorrow!  Remember to
send those negative test results to

testresults at nfb.org <mailto:testresults at nfb.org> 

Within 72 hours of arriving at the hotel.  Emails need to include the first
name, last name, city, and state of each person submitting a test.  Testing
will be available on-site, but why wait, test now!

 

With so many ways to read the agenda, I'm sure all of you have read it from
cover to cover!  Whether you listened to it on

NFB-Newsline <https://nfb.org/programs-services/nfb-newsline> R

Or in

MP3 Format <http://www.nfb.org/convention> 

Or navigated day by day 

Online <https://nfb.org/convention> 

Or downloaded  the

Word or BRF Formats <https://nfb.org/convention> 

You still need to check out the

CrowdCompass App <https://event.crowdcompass.com/nfb22>  

Or

CrowdCompass Via the Web <https://event.crowdcompass.com/nfb22> 

This is the best way to get all the convention information including changes
and cancelations.  It also lists all states caucuses and other meetings not
listed in the original agenda.

 

CrowdCompass also allows you to:

.            Customize your personal convention schedule

.            Join streamed meetings instantly

.            Learn about sponsors and exhibitors

.            Network with other attendees and send messages

And most importantly

.            Receive important updates and notifications

 

When creating your own convention schedule don't forget to include the
Nebraska Caucus on July 6th from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in Studio 3!  Come
mix and mingle with the 66 registered Nebraskan's!  Who knows we might even
see a former Nebraskan or two!  Bring your banquet tickets and enthusiasm!
