[NFB-DB] Revised final meeting agenda and Zoom link for the meeting.

Thu Nov 14 06:36:09 UTC 2024

Good evening everyone below you will find a revised agenda or our meeting on Saturday. Please note that there are some changes in the agenda that I think Will be helpful. In addition I am attaching if the list software will allow me to a copy of the new meeting accommodations policy. We will not be using it for this meeting but we will be using it going forward. If anyone has any questions, comments or concerns please email me.

Also note that doula is still our secretary but she has a partial scheduling conflict so if she's not there in time Angela Martinez our stated the intern, and our North Dakota affiliate president Will be helping out with the two things that she's listed in the agenda. But once to love there she will take over and fill these spots. Also I wanna make sure everyone is aware that at the beginning of the meeting we will be announcing some ground rules for how things are going to go as far as the actual meeting itself. These are largely deaf blindness meeting courtesy rules.

First Will be the agenda, then at the bottom of each agenda there will appear the zoom link. See you all beginning at 545 Eastern standard time, that's 245 Pacific standard time on Saturday. Now curious the agenda.
