[NFBC-Info] Call for California Resolutions Drafts

[bashin at calweb.com]

Hello Californians,

Well our state convention is just six weeks out.  Which means it's time for NFB of California members to start proposing resolutions to be debated and voted on during our state convention in late October.

These resolutions have real power in guiding government, education and commerce to improve their relationship to California's blind citizens.  They crystalize how our members feel today about important issues, and what we want the wider world to do about them.  

The world has changed in the last year and a half of the pandemic, and we have issues in transportation, employment, education and accessibility, to  name just a few.  You don't need to  be an expert resolution-writer to make an impact; some of our best resolutions have come from first-timers.  

So won't you take a moment to draft a resolution that matters to you?  It doesn't need to be perfect, but simply to mention the reasons why it's important and what you want to happen if your resolution  passes.  The NFBC website has all the 2020 California resolutions available  to use as a model, if you like.  And all members of the 2021 Resolutions Committee  are more than willing to help you get your resolution into the best format.  Please feel free to reach out to committee members Shannon, Cricket, Miguel, Ever Lee, Rachel,  Tim or me for assistance.

We'll need to have all draft resolutions to the committee  no later than  5:00 pm on Sunday, October 10th so that  the committee can do its job in helping to shape them to best advantage.  Of course we'd love them earlier, ideally by the end of September.

So feel free to write to me directly with your starter resolutions and we'll take things from there.  My direct email is:  bashin at calweb.com.

Looking forward to great resolutions and a wonderful convention.

Yours,

Bryan Bashin
