[NFBMI-Talk] Launch Time: 2025 NFBMI Raising Expectations Accessing Life Program

[rob.parso3389 at gmail.com]

Good afternoon and Wonderful Wednesday Michigan Federation Family,

 

I hope this message finds you all in excellent health and spirit. It is my
pleasure to connect with you all to announce the launch of the 2025 NFBMI
Raising Expectations Accessing Life (REAL) program, taking place June 27-29,
2025. This year's program will take place throughout the Dearborn-Metro
Detroit area, including our event hotel and various learning and engagement
centers. This is the third annual REAL program hosted by the National
Federation of the Blind of Michigan and we are truly grateful for the
efforts of our committee chair, Donna Posont, co-chair Diana Mohnke, the New
Wayne County chapter and the NFBMI Youth and Family Committee members for
their tireless efforts over the past three months. This year's REAL program
marks the return of NFB STEM2U in the Michigan affiliate, as well as the
inaugural year of our concurrent NFBMI Parent Education track, aimed at
empowering blind parents and parents of blind children in the philosophical
underpinnings of advocating in the Federation's approach when working with
the education, medical and rehabilitation system for and with families.

 

I have attached the official flyer for the 2025 NFBMI REAL program in this
message for you to share with any who you believe would benefit from
attendance. The flyer includes a QR code that will take interested
applicants to the registration page. I have also included the link to the
registration page for the program below for distribution purposes. Please
share this link with as many interested blind youth, parents, and families
in Michigan as possible; as Federation programs are unique and provide a
lens that are unlike any within this state. If you have questions about the
2025 NFBMI REAL program, please feel free to attend the next Youth and
Family Committee meeting or reach out to me at President at nfbmi.org
