[Nfbmt] Committees or Positions I Have Appointed ... Resent

[Rik James]

I want to say this to the board members, and committee members.
This new President needs ALL of you to step up.
Hard work is all that is needed to get this affiliate's business rolling.
And each week that we don't have you doing something is a week that more 
could have been done.

I am not to be serving on the board for this term.
But I pledge to you that I will continue to support this organization 
through my efforts.
I urge all members to do the same.
I hope that a month from now, 6 months from now, and one year from now, we 
may all look and pat each other on the back. And be proud that we are doing 
the work for the blind in Montana.

If there is something you want to do, but do not know how or where to start, 
perhaps reaching out is the first start. But for heaven's sake, please don't 
hang back and wait for a few others to do what needs to be done.

Okay?
Thanks very much.

Rik James

LIST OF COMMITTEES and appointees

2015 NFBMT Convention Planning Committee: Jim Aldrich, Bruce Breslauer,
Linda Hurlock, Ted Robbins

Auction Committee:

Bequest Letter Drafting Committee: Jeff Haworth, Jim Marks

Braille Literacy Committee: Dar Aldrich (maybe we can start a Bell Program
in Montana.)  I'll get some Braille cards (I didn't mean playing cards,
although I guess that would be an idea too.)  Knowing and using Braille
comes in so handy for so many things.

Brochure Designing Committee: rik James, Karen James, Jeff Haworth

Fundraising Committee:  Ted Robbins, Jim Aldrich, Jeff Haworth

Legislative/Governmental Affairs Coordinator:  Joy Breslauer

Membership Coordinator:  Anna Robbins

Newsletter or Blog Committee:  Joy Breslauer.  I don't plan to be a
committee of one.  We can work together closely with the web site committee.
Once we get a current web presence up and running, and decide what we want
on the web site and whether we want a blog, then we can post stuff on the
blog site every week or two.  If someone wants to write up something they
think should be on the blog, then the editor or editors responsible for that
can post it for them.  The way it works on WordPress, when something is put
up on the blog, it is sent out automatically that evening to whoever is on
an email list and they will receive a blurb in their inbox, so they can
either read it from the email they received or go to WordPress and read it
from there.  In the email you receive in your inbox, there might be the
first two lines of an article to pique your interest, and then a link that
says "read more."  If you click on that link, then you will be taken to the
web site where you can read the rest of the article.  Articles are usually
quite short and newsy, but sometimes they can be quite long if they are
dealing with something in depth.  You can also link articles to other
articles that might interest someone, if the articles deal with the same
subject.  I'm not very good at that.  This will be an evolving learning
experience.

NFB Newsline Statewide Coordinators: Rik and Karen James

PAC (Preauthorized check) Plan Coordinator:  Dar Aldrich

Technology Committee: (sharing high- and low-tech solutions): I know who I
think should be on it for starters, but I haven't asked them yet.

Vehicle Donations coordinator:  Jim Aldrich

Voting Rights Coordinator:  Jim Aldrich

Web Site Committee:  Joy Breslauer, Rik James
