Subject: [NFBF-Leaders] Important Announcement - August Legislative
Committee meeting happening this Thursday, August 26th at 8:00 PM...come and
join us in the excitement!

 

Good morning Federation Family,

 

Just sending out a friendly reminder that we are holding our regularly
scheduled  Legislative Committee meeting  this Thursday August 26th 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 at
Washington Seminar and some other important bills currently awaiting
attention in the US Congress, including the Transformation to Competitive
Employment Act. 

 

Another of our Legislative priorities for the 117th Congress has finally
dropped in the House of Representatives, The Medical Device Non Visual
Accessibility Act, HR-4853. A couple of meetings have taken place with
Florida House staff in order to gain support for this vital piece of
Legislation, I'll give you details about these and future meetings tomorrow.
None of our efforts can succeed without your help.

 

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.

 

 

This meeting will most likely be our last before our NFB of Florida State
Convention taking place in Tampa in October. We will join together in person
on Sunday, October 3rd and so will skip our September regular meeting. All
the more reason why your presence with us tomorrow is so important.

 

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
