> Please see the below message from Danielle Trevino:

> Dear Fellow Federationists:

> For a majority of our members, national convention is a time when we
> all come together to catch up, to exchange ideas, and to get inspired.
> We all go home rejuvenated and fired up to further the movement of the
> National Federation of the Blind. Though on a smaller scale, state
> conventions are meant to do much of the same; they are a time to grow,
> to learn, and to get motivated to further our noble cause.

> Our seventy-fifth year was officially amazing, and as we enter into
> our seventy-sixth, our President has asked us to keep the momentum
> going. So it is with that spirit and energy that we are planning to
> host a seminar to teach the essential elements of planning and
> executing a successful affiliate convention.

> Your input and recommendations are important as we develop the agenda
> for this one-of-a-kind seminar. First, please submit nominations for
> emerging leaders within your state to attend this seminar which will
> be held in Baltimore on February 19 and 20, 2016. As we have a number
> of relatively new affiliate presidents, you may want to nominate
> yourself. Please examine the suggested criteria for nominees.
> President Riccobono will be selecting the final mix of leaders for
> this seminar. Please submit your nominations by December 10, 2015.
> Second, please submit your suggestions for the most pressing topics we
> should include in this seminar to help leaders produce outstanding
conventions.

> Please reply to this message to make your nominations and suggestions.
> Nominees should be individuals who will be playing a significant role
> in the planning of the next affiliate convention (the goal is to start
> putting these new skills to work). Ideal candidates will be
> individuals who will have a role to plan in many conventions to come.
> In your nominations, please
> include:

> Nominee Information:

> Name

> Phone Number

> Email Address

> In a few sentences, explain the leadership role he or she will be
> filling in the planning and execution of your next affiliate
> convention (fall 2016 or spring 2017), and why you think he or she
> would benefit from attending this seminar.

> Finally, what topics would you think most beneficial for us to cover
> during this seminar to plan conventions? Please use this space to let
> us know what would be most helpful.

> We look forward to hearing from you and to working with you and your
> nominees to continue to build our Federation. As always, feel free to
> reach out with any questions or concerns.
