Hello,

 

My name is Emily Lund, and I am an Assistant Research Professor at the
National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision at
Mississippi State University. I am writing you because we are conducting a
survey on job retention and career advancement in people who blind or
visually impaired. We were wondering if you might be willing to please
distribute the recruitment notice below to your members and/or on your
social media sites and mailing lists. This study is not affiliated with NFB,
but distribution of this request has been approved by the national office.

 

Thank you very much for your time and assistance, and please feel free to
contact me with any questions that you may have.

 

Sincerely,

 

Emily M. Lund, PhD, CRC

Assistant Research Professor
