NFB Affiliate Presidents:

 

Each affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind is being given space and time to host an affiliate caucus at our national convention. This is more than just a time to get together, it is an opportunity to get the needed work of the Federation done while sharing time and space with affiliate members. In this year it is particularly important to do so. Since all affiliates will be meeting concurrently, you need not worry about dividing your attention, or competing for meeting room space. All affiliate caucuses will occur on Friday, July 17 between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. eastern. Additional information about the logistics of setting up the caucuses will be forthcoming.

 

In preparation of our upcoming convention, I thought it would be helpful for our leaders to share what items your affiliates intend to address during your caucus. Here are some caucus agenda topics to consider addressing during your gathering:

 

*	Welcoming first time convention attendees
*	Obtaining feedback on everyone’s convention experience
*	Recognition of national, local, and Kenneth Jernigan scholarship recipients
*	Conduct and coordinate fundraising
*	Promote the PAC plan and the Give $20 Campaign
*	Discussion of resolutions

 

Please share any additional ideas or unique strategies you use to engage the membership and build the Federation during your caucus.

 

Sincerely,

 

Anil

 

Anil Lewis, M.P.A.

Executive Director
