Tracey, 
Awesome! I really really had wanted to be there, and will next year. Wee are in a important time, when we have the pwer to move the deafblind of our country foward in the NFB, in general, and with the NFB help. 

I am following alot of the higher up NFB leaders, when the resolution did not pass, I was very critical of them. sorry I follow them on twitter. Not that what I said was that big of a deal, but I let them know that deafblind issues are important.

I have asked to attend Leadership  Training and am asking Mark Riccobno to work closely with us on getting volunteers and SSP's.  Furthermore, to ensure that no SSP is at the convention that is NOT registered with the NFB Jermigan Institute for the security of our convention attendees and for proper identification and coodination.

Looking at this from a positive standpoint, many resolutions that start off in committee do not make it onto the floor. As a board member of the Travel & Tourism division, rest assured that I will stay on top of TSA pre-check program on our behalf.

So, even though the convention has just ended I am already hard at work. Working together, we can accomplish much.

I was very very upset the first resolution did not pass, but if I go to convention next year, which I am sure we will, I'll make sure it passes.
