Dear Colleague,
The National Federation of the Blinds Employment
Committee would like to invite you to submit a
proposal to speak at our 2020 Job Seekers
Seminar! This years seminar will occur during
National Convention in Houston Texas on Tuesday
July 14 from 1-5 p.m. Although you will not be
paid for presenting, doing so will afford you the
opportunity to share your insights, advance the
knowledge base of well over 100 job seekers, and
add a national presentation to your resume or CV.
Your presentation should cover a topic that is of
interest to people at the intersection of
blindness and employment. Be mindful that your
audience will include blind jobseekers, national
employers, and professionals in the blindness
field. These people will represent various ages,
socioeconomic backgrounds, geographic regions,
races and ethnicities, religious backgrounds,
disabilities, sexual orientations, gender
identities, and so much more. Your presentation
should be as unique, diverse, and dynamic as your
audience. We are accepting proposals for 5 to
10-minute presentations and 30 minute or more breakout sessions.
Here are a few potential topics, but feel free to
submit proposals on any topic you find relevant:
Interviewing Skills
Writing Resumes/CVs, Cover Letters, etc.
Dressing for Success
Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace
Negotiating Salary
Local, State, and/or National
Employment Programs/Initiatives (Schedule A,
Ticket to Work, Employment Immersion Programs, etc.)
Ableism and Microaggressions
SSI, SSDI, and Income Tax
How Blindness Skills Enhance Employability
Organizing/Labeling Your Office
Requesting Reasonable Accommodations
Internships and Other Experience Opportunities
To submit your proposal, complete the attached
Word document in its entirety and e-mail it to
Bobbi Pompey at
<mailto:bobbipompey at gmail.com>bobbipompey at gmail.com.
She can also be reached at this e-mail address or
(336) 988-6375 with any questions. The deadline
for submissions is May 1st; you will be notified
of your proposals acceptance by May 15th; and
you will need to commit to presenting by May
31st. If you do not want to present but would
like to suggest someone else, please pass the

We Look forward to hearing and learning from you all!
