I would much rather you express your interests than me play the guessing game. There are still some committees that have only one person or just a few people. If you wish to serve on a committee, please text or call me at 803-960-9977 or email me at <a href="mailto:jhipp25@sc.rr.com">jhipp25@sc.rr.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> We have a lot of talent in the Palmetto State. Please consider what committee or committees you would like to work on. Unless it is a committee giving out an award, or there is a reason not to meet on a regular basis, suggesting each month, please be active on that committee which goes along with our NFB pledge as being an active participant in this organization. Let’s find your strengths and add them to our pool in this state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I would like these committees to begin meeting in or before October once members have been added and a final list has been sent out. I would encourage committee meetings to be the same day each month to encourage consistency and not overlap with other committee meetings so members can be a part of more than one committee. The days and times for each committee will also be published so that members will know as well as others who may wish to join later. The chair or co-chairs of each committee will also reach out to each member who expressed interest in a particular committee(s).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you so much!
