For those who will be joining us virtually, registration is still open. If you have not yet registered for the virtual convention experience, you may do so by visiting<o:p></o:p></p><p> <a href="http://www.nfb.org/convention">www.nfb.org/convention</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Whether you are attending in person or virtually, we are excited to have Nebraska well represented.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Our Nebraska Caucus will be held on Sunday, July 5, at 9:00 p.m. in Room 201. This is a very important meeting, as we will discuss resolutions, convention logistics, banquet ticket exchanges, and have an opportunity to connect with current and former Nebraskans attending convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Please be sure to bring your banquet ticket to the caucus. The ticket you receive at registration provides your banquet meal, but it does not automatically reserve your seat. In order to sit and dine at the banquet, your banquet ticket must be exchanged. We will collect your tickets at the caucus and exchange them on your behalf so that you can be seated with the Nebraska delegation.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you would prefer to sit somewhere other than with Nebraska, please let us know so that we do not spend time trying to locate you for the ticket exchange.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Secretary Linda Mentink is coordinating the banquet ticket exchange. If you have questions regarding banquet seating, please contact Linda at (402) 910-7360. Please note that this number will be used only during convention and Linda is not able to receive text messages.<o:p></o:p></p><p>We are also hoping to provide a Zoom option for those who would like to participate in the caucus remotely. We will do our best to make this available and are hopeful that the hotel Wi-Fi will cooperate. Zoom information is below.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This year, I, Jamie Richey, will serve as Nebraska's delegate, and our First Vice President, Nancy Coffman, will serve as alternate delegate. If you need assistance during convention, please do not hesitate to contact either of us. Texting is generally the best option, as we will be attending meetings throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Jamie Richey: (308) 520-9024<o:p></o:p></p><p>Nancy Coffman: (402) 450-7469<o:p></o:p></p><p>I am excited to see everyone in Austin next week! Austin is known as the Live Music Capital of the World, but I know Nebraska will make enough noise to give Texas a run for its money. For those who are unable to join us in person this year, please know that we will be thinking of you and cheering loudly for Nebraska throughout the week. You will certainly be missed.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Please let me know if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">NFB of Nebraska is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">Topic: NFB of Nebraska Caucus <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Time: Jul 5, 2026 09:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/98498516054?pwd=rKX6ecwKhsNaUsuDJ701qxqEn6TNnh.1">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/98498516054?pwd=rKX6ecwKhsNaUsuDJ701qxqEn6TNnh.1</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">+17193594580,,98498516054#,,,,*097355# US<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">+12532050468,,98498516054#,,,,*097355# US<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk187995115">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk187995115">Jamie K.
