[Nfbv-announce] Call for Resolutions

[Michael Kasey]

Fellow federationists:

 

As you know, our state convention will be occurring in a few short  weeks.
One of the most important parts of our convention involves  reading and
discussing resolutions sent in by our affiliate members.

If you are planning on submitting a resolution, or if you have an idea  for
one, please contact me as soon as possible; we need enough time to  read and
review them prior to convention.

 

  Many people are intimidated by resolutions because they have a complex

  structure with all those awkward whereas statements. However, there are
many

  people who have ideas which we might consider as potential policy
statements

  for the NFB of Virginia. Resolutions are policy statements of the
affiliate

  and we welcome them from our members.

  Also, they help spark conversations about vital issues we face as Virginia

  Federationists.

 

  I am honored to serve as Chair of the Resolutions Committee during our

  2015 state convention. If you would like to submit a resolution, please
send

  it to me as soon as possible. My email address is:

jen.shields929 at gmail.com <mailto:jen.shields929 at gmail.com> 

 

  Thank you, and I look forward to receiving your resolutions.

 

  Best,

  Jennifer Shields

  Chair, 2015 NFBV Resolutions Committee  Secretary, National Federation of
the Blind of Virginia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
