[Nfbf-l] Member-At-Large Chapter Interest?

Sat Jan 19 13:46:42 UTC 2013

New Jersey was the first to start this type of chapter, Cathy Rawa is the President up in New Jersey, and if anyone would like her number to discuss these things, please let me know and I will forward her information, she is a really close friend. We call her Chatty Cathy, she loves to talk but really sweet woman, and it was discussed at a seminar at last years National Convention in Dallas.
NY has started one ourselves after National, as of right now we only have one or 2 members, but this is run the same way as a chapter at any other chapter, meetings, dues, etc.
It is still encouraged though if you can get to a meeting you try and go.
As well as, you are to go to a state and national convention, washington seminar, etc. If you can. It is not to replace a regular chapter meeting if you are already going to a chapter.

Like Maine, Florida is indeed a very large state and many areas are not served by proper public transportation so people would have a hard time getting to a face-to-face meeting.  If this chapter forms, I would strongly encourage reaching out to the former members of the Martin County Chapter, which closed after I left, unfortunately, and inviting them to participate in this at large chapter.
