[nfb-db] montana convention

[Marsha Drenth]

Sheila,
Congradulations on the new board position. I am happy to hear that the ICC presentation went well. But sorry to hear that you didn't get to formally gather a commiitee or division. It will all come in due time. Your on the right track though. 

This brings up another very good point, how many deafblind persons are on state boards? This would be an interesting fact to know. Have deafblind persons been excluded from the boards? I would hope not intentionally. And if we as deafblind persons can get on the state boards of affiliate would this increase our efforts. Of course I am not suggesting this just so we can increase the deafblind issues, but in general. Anyone who is elected to a board, must have the greater state affiliate in mind.

I have also been elected to the board and am second vice president so I'm hoping to influence and encourage positive feedback in our state concerning deaf blind issues.I didn't get to speak about forming a committee about these issues but hope to be able to bring this before the board sometime in the near distant future.
