Advocating for more open board meetings, pushing for the other boards of the federation to be more transparent in their meetings and announcing elections, and asking for hybrid options both for meetings and elections are important issues to keep in mind. Also, if you are unable to attend in-person events, you are just as valuable as those who are able to attend in person. If this organization can accept your financial contributions virtually, it should also accept your participation on every level virtually. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">It was such an honor for me to attend the NFB of SC’s State Convention last year, and even more of an honor for me to receive your support for an at large board position.
