Becca,
Rest assured that you would be reminded in a friendly manner, of course, of any responsibility thrust upon yourself.
Happy New Year.

Oh Ted.  I have no concerns about this, Dan and Joy are very competent individuals and I'm quite sure they will accomplish it very well.  I just wanted to confirm that I'm not responsible for anything I'm not aware of.  I don't want to let anyone down.

Becca,
	They were given, and accepted the assignment at our Board meeting, so I assume so.  If you have any concerns or questions on this, I suggest you contact one or both of them.

Hi Ted.  So will they notify us before wee leave of our appointment schedule or will that be something we will learn at the meeting on the 26th?  I just want to make sure I'm in the right place at the right time to get all the info.

Becca,
	Dan and Joy accepted the assignment to book our appointments.  Last I checked with them, they were working on them.

Hi Anil.  I hope no one expects me to schedule appointments.  I'm brand new at this and it's my understanding that someone else is doing that.  I hope to learn how this is done so I can take a bigger part next year.  I hope only to get some training this year and learn some of the ropes.  I am kind of scared that someone will throw me out there and expect me to do something profound...If so, they may be disappointed:)

NFB Washington Seminar Hill Appointments Alert

Affiliate Presidents and Affiliate Legislative Directors:

The excitement is building around our 2014 Washington Seminar, which will take place from Monday, January 27 thru Thursday, January 30.  
Plans are being made to conduct a Legislative Directors seminar on Sunday, January 26, and our Great Gathering In will start promptly at 5:00PM on the evening of Monday, January 27.  The 2014 Legislative Agenda of Blind Americans and the list of our 2014 legislative issues will be published and distributed soon.

Hopefully, you have begun scheduling your Hill appointments starting on Tuesday, January 28 through Thursday, January 30.  Please refrain from scheduling appointments with congressional members or staff on Monday, January 27.

Remember, if your member of Congress serves on a key committee for one of our legislative issues, a member of the NFB Governmental Programs staff may be attending the meeting with you.  Moreover, if you feel it would be helpful for a staff member to attend a meeting, please let us know.

As you schedule your Hill Appointments, please email the following information to: hillappointments at nfb.org.

State:

Legislator’s Name:

Appointment Date:

Appointment Time:

Appointment Location:

Affiliate Lead Person:

Affiliate Lead Cell Phone:

Would you like staff to attend your meting?

It is very important that this information be kept current.  Therefore, if your appointment date or time changes before or during seminar week please call the Mercury Room at 202-554-0361 and provide us with the new date and/or time of the meeting.

Social Media Notes:

Facebook users can visit the NFB Facebook page for status updates.  If you take a photo with your member of Congress, please email it to Jessica Freeh at jfreeh at nfb.org so that she can upload it to our Facebook page.

Twitter users can follow @NFB_VOICE for up to the minute updates on the seminar.  Please use #NFBWS14 as the hashtag when tweeting about the
2014 NFB Washington seminar.

Note: There are many aps that provide you with congressional information.  I recommend a free app that has proven to be very useful for obtaining information about legislators and legislation: Congress by Sunlight Foundation.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in D.C.
