participate in an important discussion on digital equity for Alaskans to be
able to give feed-back about the implementation of new services that may
benefit each of us. The greatest benefit to our demographic can only be
implemented if they know what individuals' needs and challenges’ are when
accessing  digital services here in Alaska. Please join us and be part of
this conversation.

Blind, broadband in Alaska - Alaska Digital Equity Plan

Planning to join the 11:00 am meeting tomorrow, Friday Dec. 8th.

Just drove home tonight from downtown at 9:15 pm. The snow is falling quite
heavily right now and roads are challenging.

Inquiry: Will there be a ZOOM option available for this meeting? Please
inform and get the message out to other NFB Members, too, please.

Sincerely,

Carole Anderson

Hello,

You're invited to the Center for the Blind on *Friday, December 08, 2023 at
11:00am*. We're going to eat sandwiches, salads, and snacks, and discuss
the Alaska Digital Equity Plan and give public feedback about the plan
goals.

The Digital Equity Plan will lay the foundation for bridging the digital
divide over the next five years, and is open for public comment until
Saturday, December 09, 2023 at midnight.

Please come and share your opinion about the goals in the plan. Do the
goals match your personal experiences? Is anything inaccurate or missing?
Should something be added? This is the time to give your feedback, and help
shape the way the state moves forward with digital access!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, and any dietary
restrictions you may have. We hope to see you there!
