[NFBMI-Talk] Fwd: Join the NABS Advocacy Committee to learn about College Accommodations Tonight!

[Matt Sievert]

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the meeting tonight.

It was very insightful to hear what college students 30 years after I went
to college are dealing with now.

Some things have changed. Some things have stayed the same.

I wish them all the best of luck.

Matt
