[NFBF-L] Deaf Blind Division Meeting, Important nominations for officers and board

[Brian Norton]

Good morning Marilyn, Arlene, Debbie, Judy, Peggy, Doug, and other NFBF Deaf Blind board members and supporters,
Since our Deaf Blind Division now has confirmation of our Treasury total amount held in trust by Sylvia Young, we need to have a meeting to nominate a new treasurer, and nominations for other vacancies to hold those offices until the NFBF October Tampa State Convention.
I propose that we have our next meeting by Zoom on the second Sunday of May next month.
I propose that we hold this next month’s meeting on Sunday May 14 2023 @ 5pm – 6pm

I recognize that this date is Mother’s Day. If any NFBF Deaf Blind Board member has a conflict with that day/time, please suggest an appropriate alternative meeting time for consideration.
After discussing this matter with Doug Ingram and Peggy Fleischer (also NFBF State Board members), we will have open nominations for second vice president and a board member position. We now have Sylvia Young as a temporary Treasurer until the Tampa October convention.
Once those nominations are made, we can either defer their election until our June 11 2023 Sunday 5pm meeting, or have an immediate appointment immediately if such nominees are unopposed.

Please recruit new potential members to attend, and I expect each NFBF Deaf Blind officer and Board member to recruit at least one additional person to participate and join in this meeting.
Please contact me to discuss this meeting time, and any other subjects to discuss or any suggested speaker.
Peace and love,
Brian Norton

Marilyn    Thank you for taking the initiative on this.
I have been deeply troubled by the silence and the
communication challenges.   Of course, Joe's seat
as Second VP needs to be vacated and filled with a
deaf-blind candidate.  (sorry to add that task)

Joe had been hospitalized in February and again in
March.  He is currently in a nearby rehab facility.
West Melbourne Health and Rehabilitation is his
location. There are many health issues.  We need
thought and prayer.

Let me know date and time.
God Bless us all.
🙏

Dear Board Members.
I hope that everyone is as well as can be today and in the coming week. I think that it would be a good idea for us, the Board, to meet, and then call a meeting of the DB Division members, asap, Doug can you please let Brian and me know what Sunday evening is available this month for a Board meeting?

We need to decide upon candidates for our Division  treasurer, and also to select a topic for the Division Seminar in October 2023.

I look forward to seeing everyone via zoom, sometime this month. If you have any questions, or concerns, please let President Brian Norton, or myself know.  Have a good week everyone. If you know someone who is hearing impaired, and Blind, that needs resources,  please  reach out to them.
Sincerely,

Marilyn Baldwin
First Vice President
