Instead, we are encouraging all of our members to attend the affiliate open board meeting. This will give all our members the opportunity to see the Florida affiliate board at work, ask questions, and be more involved on an affiliate level. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to <a href="mailto:statewide@nfbflorida.org" target="_blank">statewide@nfbflorida.org</a>.</div><div>After the meeting ends, I will be sending an email with announcements. In addition, I will be out of town from June 30th to July 2nd as I will be in Maryland again for a second round of interviews for a job. Expect any inquiries between those dates to be answered within 48-72 hours.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For those of you going to national convention, have a great time, and I highly encourage everyone, regardless of attendence, to listen to the general sessions. They will be streamed on Youtube, and they give a high overview of the work we are doing across the federation.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope to see all of you at the affiliate open board meeting, and let's continue to build the National Federation of the Blind.
