> Greetings Florida Federationistts,
>  
> We will be having our  town hall meeting this evening at 7:00PM via Zoom.
>  
> Our 2024 State Convention in Jacksonville, Florida is just two months away and I decided to bring our membership together tonight so the affiliate board can provide necessary information as we finalize our arrangements for our convention.
>  
> The calling information is below and I urge all chapters and divisions board members present, members, Kenneth Jernigan scholarship winners, recipients of the Florida  sponsorships, and perspective members to the blind movement to be present in order to obtain very important information regarding our convention.
>  
> Please ensure that this correspondence is widely distributed within the chapters and divisions membership.  I would like to see a large contingency of our members together so they are actively participating in our affiliate as we experience during our national convention.  Let’s keep the enthusiasm that we  all shared during our national convention so we can make our 2024 state convention memorable.
>  
> Just a few topics that will be covers are as follows:
> Online registration
> National representative 
> Auction 
>   Rooms for chapters / divisions .
> Pledges from chapters / divisions 
>  Student scholarships 
>  Affiliate sponsorship  for first timers only
> 2025 state convention 
>  Washington Seminar 
>  
> As mentioned, we will be having online registration on our NFB of Florida website and the affiliate board had the opportunity to test and register themselves.  There will be other minor tweaks to ensure the registration process is efficient and seamlessly.  I am expected to have the registration form online by mid-week when all bugs are worked out.
