Good morning Florida Federation friends and family,

 

Now that the holiday season has come and gone we look up and see big things
happening in 2022,  some happening very soon. One big event eager to greet
us  is the 2022 Washington Seminar. Taking place the week of February 7th.
You might be asking, "what work needs to get done before we sit down with
our Representatives in Congress, (whether it be virtually or in person)?",
the answer is, we need to meet, organize, review and practice our
presentations.

 

We will hold an Affiliate wide meeting this coming Monday, January 10th at
8:00 PM to briefly review the four Legislative priorities for 2022 and to
discuss our strategies for meeting with our Representatives one month from
now. During our last Washington Seminar, Florida showed a tremendous amount
of excitement and involvement and I am sure we will do that again this year.
I've been contacted by several new folks within our Affiliate who want to
join us all in the vital work we will be conducting, it will be terrific
having them join hands with us and showing them how passionate Floridians
are about the legislative process.

 

To keep from having this email overly complicated with meeting dates, Zoom
links and attachments, we're going to allow it to focus primarily on the
meeting set for Monday, January 10th at 8:00 PM. Subsequent emails will have
additional information for you to review. I will tell you that our National
office will hold a legislative issue review meeting on Wednesday, January 12
and a mock meeting review session  on January 24th, (I'll send separate
emails out to you regarding those meetings so you can add them to your
calendar).

 

I'll also be sending out emails with the Fact Sheets for our legislative
initiatives. A big thanks to Sherri Brun for alerting all of us last week
that the Fact Sheets are also accessible on the Federations website. Thanks
so much Sherri, getting that link from you helped me easily find the
information about our priorities in several formats.

 

Please see below for the link to our meeting for Monday, January 10th at
8:00 PM. Hope very much that you will be able to join us. Feel free to call
me if you have any questions or if you can't make our meeting but still want
to be involved.

 

Respectfully,

 

Russ Davis, Legislative Director,

National Federation of the Blind of Florida
