<P class=MsoNormal>We want to learn more about how we can improve
NFB-NEWSLINE.
To that end we have contracted with Deloitte to conduct focus groups and a
survey. You will be receiving the survey sometime next week. We are
looking for people to participate in a 90-minute focus group. Participants
will
be a mixture of those who use NFB-NEWSLINE and those who do not. We want to
be
sure to include input from those who do not use the system in order to
understand what might make them more likely to use NFB-NEWSLINE. Please
promote
this plan.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><o:p><FONT

<P class=MsoNormal>To be considered for one of the focus groups, please
complete
the attached Focus Group Pre-Work Form and email it to Lia at <A
href="mailto:lparkerbelfer@deloitte.com">lparkerbelfer@deloitte.com</A>.
Please
complete the attached form by Tuesday, June 2, 2020. If you have any
questions
about the focus groups or would like to complete the form over the
telephone,
please call Lia at 202-306-6822.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>We anticipate that this information will be pivotal in

the
survey.<o:p></o:p></P>
