[NFB-Conventions] 2023 Annual Business Meeting Agenda

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

Hello everyone, I am excited to report that the agenda for the annual business meeting for the National Association of Guide Dog Users is ready. Because I am not sure how our Mailman server will handle attachments, I am pasting it below my signature as well. I'm looking forward to a great convention and to seeing many folks very soon. The annual business meeting will take place this Monday, July 3, 6-10 PM, Central. The first hour is dedicated to onsite registration and networking. Whether you attend in person or virtually, it will be great. Please consider registering for one or both of our meetings this year by following the link: https://nagdu.org/national-convention
Thanks all.
