[Nfbc-info] Washington Seminar 2015 Application now available

[Mary Willows]

Hello All,

 

 

The Washington Seminar is an annual event of the National Federation of the
Blind to introduce the agenda of blind Americans--the priority issues
requiring congressional attention over the coming year.  The issues are
selected from official positions of the Federation and may address concerns
in the following areas: relevant civil rights issues; educational programs
and services; rehabilitation of the blind for competitive employment; the
operation of vending facilities by blind persons on public property;
specialized library services for the blind; the organization and funding of
federal programs; Social Security and Supplemental Income programs; and
other timely topics.  Approximately three legislative initiatives are chosen
for priority attention during the Washington Seminar.  This year the seminar
will be held  January 26th - January 29th, 2015.

 

The application is now available by going to www.nfbcal.org, then click on
