Subject: NFBAZ November 2022 Quarterly Board Meeting Highlights

 

Greetings Federationists:

 

This past Saturday we held the quarterly board meeting for the National
Federation of the Blind of Arizona. Detailed below are some highlights from
the meeting.

 

Voting Survey:

If you are of voting age, you are encouraged to participate in a voting
survey. If you are blind or low-vision, you are encouraged to share both
good and bad voting experiences you had in this 2022 general election by
completing our Blind and Low-Vision Voter Experience Survey! English and
Spanish versions are available below. If someone is not able to access the
survey online, they can call 410-659-9314 and get assistance from either Lou
Ann Blake (extension 2221) or Jeff Kaloc (extension 2206). Please complete
and share the survey.

After completing the survey, please consider posting on social media the
voting survey links for other people to submit. Sharing our Facebook post

platform would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help on this
important matter. 

 

Core Brand Values:

As we discussed during the philosophy session during the quarterly board
meeting, the National Federation of the Blind has six core brand values.
These core brand values are discussed at length in a series of Braille
Monitor articles and should be read and shared. We will discuss them in
upcoming meetings and board meetings in 2023.
