<p class="p3">Hey there PA Federationists,</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">Our first planning meeting is tonight, February 12 at 7:30PM. Join us on Zoom at <a href="https://www.nfbofpa.org/conventionzoom/">https://www.nfbofpa.org/conventionzoom/</a> .</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">If you haven’t heard, this year’s convention is November 13 through the 16 at the Best Western Premier in Harrisburg.</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">My thoughts were to have six teams with one team lead for each. The teams and their focus are as follows:</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Outreach & Registration</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3"><span class="Apple-tab-span"></span><span class="Apple-tab-span"></span>Team Lead: Stacie Leap</p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for identifying and contacting various community centers, senior facilities, groups, etc to let them know we are coming and how folks can register to attend. It will also assist in on-site registration.</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Media</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3">Team Lead: </p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for identifying and contacting anyone that can help us get the word out about our event; this includes TV, radio, celebrities, bloggers, influencers, etc. We will create press releases, emails, and phone scripts for you to use to get these folks to want to help us.</p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Attendee Assistance</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3">Team Lead: </p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for helping our attendees find their way around the hotel and to the various meeting rooms. We are hoping to have the Lions Club assist with this, too.</p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Sponsors</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3">Team Lead: Me</p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for identifying sponsors for our event. </p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Vendors</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3">Team Lead: Denice Brown</p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for identifying and contacting vendors for our exhibit hall. They could be solopreneurs to multinational companies. Emails and scripts can be provided if the team lead feels it necessary.</p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3"><span class="s1"></span>Onsite Audio Video</li>
</ul>
<p class="p3">Team Lead: </p>
<p class="p3">This team will be responsible for the sound and Zoom during our various events at the convention.</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">Did I leave anything out? Join us on tonight and we can talk about it.</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">If you want to help out, but can’t make it tonight, no worries, there will be plenty more meetings. Just email me and let me know you want to help. Thanks to those folks who have already contacted me about their willingness to pitch in.</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p3">Regards,</p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
