[NFBF-Tampa] employment opportunities

[Jim Lovell]

Hello all;

I have been communicating with Spectrum accessability employees for the last 7 months about audio description, talking remotes, and an option to read the television guide.
On june 20, I spoke with Mark Lasser who explained he was the Accessability supervisor for Spectrum.
Mr. Lasser and I discussed the many problems that the blind and visually-impaired have with accessing audio description and the guides.
Mr. Lasser stated that He is blind and has been with Spectrum since January.  Hhe said that  Spectrum is looking to hire blind and visually-impaired people as computer programmers, consultants, and customer relations representatives.
Mr. Lasser also informed me that he will be at the NFB National Convention and will be speaking to the Federation.

Any of you that may be interested may want to bring a resume with you to the convention...just saying.

If you are not interested in a job with Spectrum, please seek Mr. Lasser out anyway and express your thoughts and ideas about the accessability  problems that the blind and visually-impaired encounter with television.
I think that this is an open door of opportunity and we should run through the door!

Good luck,

Jimmy
