[NFBofSC] NAGDU is inviting you to a special town hall meeting to answer questions about the Department of Transportation Final Regulations on Traveling by Air with Service Animals

[Steve Cook]

The National Association of Guide Dog Users is inviting you to a special
town hall meeting, which will be held this Thursday, December
10 at 8 PM Eastern time. The meeting will last for one hour and the meeting
will be recorded. The purpose of this meeting is to answer your questions
about the new ruling that the Department of Transportation has published
regarding air travel with service animals.

When joining, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Since these are final rules, they will go into effect thirty days after
the announcement.
2. We will answer questions to the best of our abilities, and we will obtain
clarification from the DOT as needed.
3. It might be best to come with prepared questions, but also know that
someone else might ask the question before you do. In order to try and keep
the meeting moving, we will answer one question from one person, then move
onto another person to give them a chance.
4. You are free to email questions ahead of time so we can compile a list
prior to the meeting. Questions can be emailed to board at nagdu.org with the
word, question, in the subject.
