Tables are first come, first served, and can accommodate two or more people. We will have committee members there to help and direct you. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'>There is no charge to either employers or jobseekers for the Job Fair.

Just e-mail the following information to ddavis@blindinc.org: name of organization, address, phone number(s), e-mail(s) and name or names and job titles of representatives. Make sure you provide information that you want job seekers to see, as we publish a list of the employers before the job fair, so job seekers can do their research and follow up afterward. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'>If you have handouts with general information about your organization in Braille and large type (16 point preferred) that is good, but it is not required.
