[Jim Marks]

Attached and below are more details about the upcoming Disability Employment
and Transitions Town Hall Mmeetings.  This is for the upcoming program plans
for Blind and Low Vision Services and the rest of Vocational Rehabilitation
and Blind Services.  We need to hear from the NFB of Montana especially on
work in the community for minimum wages or better.  Other input is most
welcome as well.  If you cannot attend in person, each site will have an
open telephone for phone input.  Hope to see you there!

Subject: Details on VRBS local town hall meetings.

 

Greetings,

 

Attached are detailed announcements for a series of local Town Hall Meetings
for Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services (VRBS).  The meetings will
be held in Billings, Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula. 

 

This series of meetings will be different from the yearly public meetings
that VRBS has held in the past.  Previous meetings have been listening
sessions conducted over a satellite network.  VRBS listened and then
responded in writing at a later time.  These meetings will involve VRBS
visiting communities, and presenting on anticipated changes and having a
dialogue with stakeholders on the issues.  It may be possible to answer some
questions at the meetings, but there will likely still be some questions
that will have to be reviewed and researched prior to answering.  However,
the focus will be on a dialogue with stakeholders on how things will be
changing and how can the changes be done effectively.

 

VRBS service delivery is going to be different and these meetings are going
to be different.  We hope you have a chance to join us.

 

Also, please put the flyer for your area your office and distribute to
persons you may be interested in attending.

 

Mike
