[Nfb-web] [NFB-web] Our meeting at the convention

[Littlefield, Tyler]

I am currently working with a couple affiliates and the big question is 
online registration. I'd rather see a centralized site (so that this 
doesn't have to be a drupal module) that allows everyone to register in 
one place, but affiliates can add their own sessions and things as well. 
It could easily be streamlined and everyone could just go to the 
convention registration and do everything in one place.
This would mean that the national office would have to allocate funds at 
the end, but that would be fairly simple to do I would think.

Since then, the NFB.org site has been re-designed, so perhaps we could request a set of updated templates? Also, I keep hearing request about online registration for conventions, so perhaps we would like some development resources allocated toward a Drupal module that ties into the Connections database? There is also the NFB mobile app, and perhaps the group has some thoughts about our involvement there.
