[NFBF-L] Important Announcement - October Legislative Committee meeting happening this Thursday, October 28th at 8:00 PM...Everyone is Welcome, Come Join In!

[Russell Davis]

Good morning Federation Family,

 

Just sending out a friendly reminder that we are holding our regularly
scheduled  Legislative Committee meeting  this Thursday October 28th at 8:00
PM.  (Eastern). Please see the call in details at the bottom of this email.

 

We will discuss the status of our four legislative issues promoted during
our 2021 Washington Seminar and some other important bills currently
awaiting attention in the US Congress, including the Transformation to
Competitive Employment Act. 

 

It's hard to believe but, the time has come for our Affiliate to begin
planning for the 2022 Washington Seminar event. We haven't received a
definitive answer from our national Advocacy and Policy team as to whether
the annual gathering will be in person or, (as in 2021), virtual, having you
with us at our monthly Legislative Committee meetings helps us know who is
genuinely interested in the legislative process. As I have stressed in both
this email and in other conversations, we need all hands on deck to move our
legislative priorities forward and to accomplish our goals. Everyone is
welcome and everyone can lend a hand.

 

It was so terrific seeing so many of you at our recent State Convention and
during our October 3rd Legislative Workshop. Thanks to Amanda Tolson from
Envision America for stepping in at the last minute and providing us with a
truly informative presentation on accessible prescription labels and how
legislation on the State level could be of great benefit.

Camille Tate will provide us with some very important information about
legislation being debated in Tallahassee that could have an impact on all of
us.

 

Everyone is welcome to join in , even if you were not part of the earlier
activities. It's never too late to learn, catch the Legislative fever and to
get involved in a meaningful way. Florida still has work to do and we do
truly need your help.

 

Please see below for the Zoom call in information. Regional team leaders,
Denise and Camille, if you have team members who are not on our distribution
lists, please alert them to this upcoming meeting.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me or any
other member of our Legislative Committee leadership team.

 

Respectfully,

 

Russ Davis,

Legislative Director, National Federation of the Blind of Florida

Ph. 904-993-8433
