The Black Elected Leaders Working Group under the Black Leaders Serving for
Advancement (BLSA) Committee cordially invites you to a celebration of
Women's History Month as we celebrate black women leaders in the National
Federation of the Blind.

Join us to hear from dynamic Black women leaders in the National Federation
of the Blind

When: March 27, 2021 

Time: 11:00 AM EDT

10:00 AM CDT

9:00 AM MDT

8:00 AM PDT

Moderator: Denise Avant, NFB Board of Directors and immediate past
President of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois

In his 2018 banquet speech, National Federation of the Blind President Mark
A. Riccobono recognized and celebrated the vital contributions of blind
women leaders in the Federation. March is Women's History Month, and we
want to hear from and celebrate today's Black women leaders in our
movement. Join us to hear from strong, intelligent and dedicated women in
the Federation.

Joining us will be Dorothy Griffin, President of the NFB of Georgia and
President of the NFB of Georgia's Atlanta chapter, Barbara Manuel,
President of the NFB of Alabama, Suzanne Turner, 1st Vice President of the
NFB of Ohio and President of the NFB of Ohio's Cleveland Chapter and
Sabrina Simmons, 2d Vice President of the NFB of Michigan and President of
the NFB of Michigan's Detroit chapter.

These powerful women will share their stories as they ascended to
leadership in our movement. What brought them to the Federation and what
are their contributions to our organization? How have they successfully led
their affiliates and chapters?  How do they balance their competing roles
of work, family, community participation and involvement in the Federation?
Who are some of their role models? 

All are welcome to participate in this celebration of women in the civil
rights movement of blind people.
