[NFB-DB] Meetings at NFB National Events

[Kat Bottner]

I have struggled with this very thing for years I have been a state, president, chapter president, chapter vice, president, state, vice president, and currently I am a chapter, vice president, division, vice president, and other hats in the Pennsylvania affiliate. And have been to many national conventions, and have experienced the same struggles. I would be happy to talk to people off list to see if we could come up with something to make our experiences better.

The presenters try to repeat the questions but sometimes they are long and sometimes even they can't hear the question being asked. This has been a problem at every NFB national event I have attended, including some division meetings at national convention. I think we should take this issue on as a division and advocate for more inclusive meetings for those of us who are deaf blind. It's truly frustrating that we can't get such a basic thing right.
