[rothmanjd at gmail.com]

Friends,

We will be holding our 2025 Annual Meeting of the National Association of
Blind Government Employees (NABGE) on Thursday, July 10, 2025 from 8PM -
10PM in Studio 4 at the Marriott New Orleans.  Please join us!

*	Come kick-start your career or give it a boost by networking,
sharing ideas, and learning about opportunities related to civil service;
*	Hear from experts on career exploration, job searching, and
networking;
*	Learn all about Federal Disability Retirement, SSDI, and other
considerations after government service;
*	And so much more!

 

In the last year, we've started a robust Whatsapp group, co-hosted the
Federal Employee Transition Boot Camp with the NFB Employment Division and
NFB National Center, worked on 508 and other accessibility legislation, and
more.

 

Dues are $10 for all, except students who pay $5.  Please try to arrive at
7:30 to pay your dues.  We can only accept cash in person, but members can
also pay their dues online by visiting:

<https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=44> &id=44.

 

This year, we're introducing a virtual option, but we aren't sure if those
who participate remotely will be able to speak in the meeting - it'll depend
on how the technology works.  Access information is in the agenda.

 

The agenda is attached and below.

Pronouns: she, her, hers

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland 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
