Hi, 

I am posting this on the Jobs and Rehab listservs at the request of Tiffany Jolliff of NIB, who is conducting a survey of individuals about their career plans.  Please consider responding to her survey.

Good morning Mr. Davis.

My name is Tiffany Jolliff.  I am the research coordinator at National Industries for the blind.  Last year, I attended the NFB conference and conducted focus groups and interviews with students regarding their future career ambitions.  I will be attending again this year, and am hoping to speak with people in the 45-64 age range.  I checked the NFB committees list and saw that you are the head of the employment committee.  I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor and forward a blurb with a link to a pre-screening survey for my focus groups to the NFBJobs list.

I will be at the conference from the evening of June 30 through the morning of July 5 if you would like to meet in person.  Also, if you know of other people I should be contacting, I would really appreciate receiving their information.

The blurb is pasted below.  Thank you for your time and assistance.

Tif

  _____  

My name is Tiffany Jolliff and I am the research coordinator at National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is focused on its mission to create and sustain employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired. 

 

I will be attending the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) 2014 Conference and Convention, and while there, I am interested in conducting focus groups with people between the ages of 45 and 64 who are blind. Vision loss and employment are closely linked for this age group, and I am researching  how NIB can help this group circumvent potential barriers to employment. 

 

If you are attending the NFB convention and interested in participating in this focus group, please take a minute to respond to the following survey.  The survey is intended to gauge your interest in participating in a focus group, and to identify the dates and times that work best in your undoubtedly busy schedule.

 

If you are not planning to attend the 2014 NFB conference this year and would still be interested in participating in my research, this survey also offers the option to provide contact information for future participation.

 

Any contact information you provide in this survey will be seen by only me, and will be used for the sole purpose of contacting you about your focus group. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at tjolliff at nib.org or by phone at 703-310-0583.

 

Here is a link to the survey:

When prompted for a password, enter NFB2014.

 

Thank you, and enjoy the conference.
