Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Calling Dedicated Federationists Interested
in Blindness in the Entertainment Industry

 

 
The National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division, a strong and
proud division of the National Federation of the Blind, is seeking
enthusiastic, hardworking members to serve on our blindness and
entertainment committee.  As an offshoot of the Let Us Play Us campaign,
this committee will become the arm of the Performing Arts Division that
cultivates connections in Hollywood and increases our organizations presence
in the discussion of blindness in the entertainment industry.  If you are
interested in securing opportunity, equality, and full integration in all
aspects of the entertainment industry, please consider how you can help us.
Our immediate goals involve establishing partnerships in education to
identify blind talent for prospective opportunities and creating
informational resources highlighting the capabilities of blind performers
for the benefit of entertainment industry professionals. If you are a
performer, have connections in the entertainment industry, or happen to be a
creative worker with interest and ideas related to blindness and
entertainment, please email us at nfbpad at gmail.com <mailto:nfbpad at gmail.com>
. We would like to hear from you by Friday, November 1 so we can get started
with this exciting work as soon as possible!
 
We look forward to raising expectations of blind performers and increasing
representation on screen and stage together!
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Julie A. McGinnity
President, National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division
