[nfbcs] Speaking Opportunity for the NFBCS Summer Meeting

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

If you are coming to the National Federation of the Blind annual convention
(http://www.nfb.org/national-convention) which will take place in Dallas
Texas from June 30 through July 5 2012, please consider the following
speaking opportunity.

The National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science is looking for
blind people who are professionally employed in the field of Information
Technology.  Whether you are a programmer, systems analyst, technical
support specialist, or network administrator, we would like to hear from
you.

We are interested in hearing about the triumphs and challenges involved with
your professional position--particularly, the triumphs and challenges you
experience because of blindness.  What tools have you found to be
particularly helpful in your job?  What changes do you foresee which will
pose significant challenges for your continued success in your chosen
career?  What indications do you see which give you hope?

We are asking you to give a fifteen minute talk, followed by a 10 minute
question and answer period.

The National Federation of the Blind's Computer Science Division meeting is
scheduled for July 2, 2012 from 1 PM to 5 PM.  

If you are interested in this speaking opportunity, then we very much want
to hear from you.  Please contact Louis Maher (ljmaher at swbell.net,

Thank you.

Regards,
Louis Maher
