[NFB-Arkansas] 2022

[Cindy Scott-Huisman]

I’m not sure that I have processed A definitive answer for my response but here’s what I’m thinking:
I can see reasons for why we would want to have the convention continue to be virtual in the spring and I can also see why it would be wonderful to meet in person. I think the hybrid option would be a logistics nightmare!!!
If we meet virtually, I feel like there’s a potential for more attendants, less hassle with transportation, and we can have a wide variety of speakers from all over the place without them having to come in person . If we do decide to have the convention in person, I’d be happy to help try to come up with a great transportation option for those who will be attending from Central Arkansas.

We need to have a membership chair for the state board: I am looking for someone that can keep in contact with all chapters and divisions on a regular basis, that can make sure that all paperwork and dues are sent to the appropriate offices in State and National in a timely manner. Will be working with National Membership and with our own membership committee chairs. You do not need to be on the state board to do this.
