Greetings NFBO because of several pressing projects that are either being
considered or in play it is necessary to change the deadline for letting me
know if you wish to serve.                 I am pasting  the 2018 committee
appointments below.



I will be glad to answer questions if they are needed but not on the list.
Please feel free to email me directly especially if you are a member of the
board of directors. Please let me know which committees you would like to
serve on by November 25th  .



If you want to chair a committee let me know that as well. I will take that
under  consideration.



Also you will not be put on the committee just because you desire.   Just
because you were the chair previously or on a  particular committee this
year that will not confirm your being on the new committee.            If
you believe you should chair a committee let me know in detail why.

Do not assume anything. Right now this list is blank.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
