style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It
has been about a month since I took over as Acting President
following the passing of our president, Jeannie Massay. I
wanted to give everyone an update about where we are and
what the plan is for the future of NFB Oklahoma. One of my
goals as President is to improve communication with our
chapters and members about what’s going on. Many of you have
expressed a desire for better communication from the board,
so I will attempt to work on that. My plan is to send out
periodic email updates on a monthly basis and possibly more
often if the need arises. This is the first update and I
hope you find it useful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

convention is fast approaching. It runs from July 5
through 10. If you can’t make it in person, please note
that there is a virtual option and registration is still
open. Visit <a href="http://www.nfb.org/convention/"
moz-do-not-send="true">www.nfb.org/convention/</a> for
details. If you are attending in person and haven’t yet
registered, you will need to register on-site in New
Orleans as pre-registration is closed. If you are
attending in person, please be aware of the Covid19
protocols that are in place. You will need to provide a
negative test result taken within 72 hours of check-in.
You will not be able to register without a negative test.
Masking is also required at all convention meetings and
events. You can get all the details on the NFB convention
page linked above. <o:p></o:p></span></li>

are starting up an at-large group for NFBOK. This group
will be for people living in Oklahoma who want to
participate in NFBOK but don’t live near our chapters in
OKC and Tulsa. Meetings will be monthly with the first
meeting happening on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 7 PM. All
meetings will be hosted on Zoom. I’ll paste the Zoom info
for the first meeting at the bottom of this email. Spread
the word! I am hopeful that this at-large group will help
us to grow the affiliate.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

The 2022 state convention will be held October 14 and 15.
It will once again be virtual. More information will
follow shortly. We are also working on plans for the 2023
state convention. We will be shifting our conventions back
to our traditional Spring schedule and will be going back
to an in-person meeting. The 2023 convention will be in
Oklahoma City in late March or early April of 2023. I will
share more details as they become available. Please note,
there will also be a virtual option of some type so really
I suppose I should call it a hybrid convention. In any
case, I encourage you to plan to come in-person if you are
able.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

looking for enthusiastic people to help with marketing and
promotion of NFB Newsline in Oklahoma. I need people who
