Hotline Committees. Brett Sample, who is an NFB member, is creating a
guide dog training program in Puerto Rico modeled after our NFB training
centers. Brett will share his work and projections with us. We will also
share exciting information about our progress enhancing access to the
country’s zoos. We will also find out where we are with our mobile app
and hotline. <br>

On Tuesday, July 7, our meeting will be called to order at 7:00 p.m.
sharp. We will hear from Tim Elder, NFB’s lead attorney in our federal
law suit against Uber. Tim will share the most up-to-date information
with us first, so join our meeting for this breaking news. We will also
have a presentation by john Bifield from Freedom Guide dogs for the Blind
about community & residential guide dog training and a panel
discussion by officials of various guide dog training programs about
ownership and the immediate and long-term considerations every potential
guide dog program consumer should know about the practical implications
of unconditional ownership compared to custody. During this meeting, we
will also share guide dog user related resolutions passed by the
Resolutions Committee the prior day. Most importantly, we will hold
elections for vice President, Treasurer, and one board position.<br>
