Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the board with any questions.<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p>Dear Florida Federationists:<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p> The Florida Affiliate Board has undergone some changes in the last week and I would like to address the membership regarding these changes. Effective January 15, 2024, president Paul Martinez has stepped down from his position. The Affiliate board would like to thank him for his leadership throughout his tenure as President of our affiliate, the years he dedicated serving as 1st Vice President and as a young, vibrant leader when he was elected to the board in 2014. Mr. Martinez will continue to serve as president of the State wide Chapter and will continue to be an integral part of growing the Florida Affiliate<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p>By Constitutional authority, I, Jorge Hernandez have attained the position of President. I can assure the affiliate that there has been no disruption in the operations of the work the board is assigned to perform. Moreover, I have asked Camille Tate to serve as my 1st Vice President. . The position of 2nd vice President will be filled in the near future.<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p> For transparency, the position of President will be up for reelection at our State Convention in October 2024. The board is working diligently on several projects involving our national convention that will be held in July of this year. We are in a transition phase; we are updating our webpage with the correct and updated information; transferring all necessary communication mediums to the correct personnel. As we settle into our new roles, I ask the membership to be patient and provide us with ample time to ensure we are ready to serve all of you in the manner that you deserve. <u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p>Sincerely,<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p>Jorge Hernandez, President<u></u><u></u></p><p>National Federation of the Blind of Florida Board of Directors <a href="mailto:president@nfbflorida.org" target="_blank">president@nfbflorida.org</a><u></u><u></u></p><p>tel: (305) 877-2311<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">"Live the Life you want<u></u><u></u></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFBF-L mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:NFBF-L@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">NFBF-L@nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBF-L:</span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org/nfbf.statewide%40gmail.com" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbf-l_nfbnet.org/nfbf.statewide%40gmail.com</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
