Meeting of the Board of Directors

Saturday, May 7, 2022

Location: Library and Resource center, Virginia Department of the Blind and
Vision Impaired

395 Azalea Avenue

Richmond, Virginia 23227

Agenda:

12:45 Pre-Registration via Zoom (if possible) 

1:00 P.m. - 4:00 P.M.

The meeting will be conducted in person and over Zoom.

Mask Policy at DBVI Richmond Campus: 

At the DBVI Forum early this week, Commissioner Hopkins announced that there
are no longer any Covid-19 protocols per guidance from the Department of
Labor and Industry.  The only thing that DBVI asks is that if people are not
feeling well, they need to stay home.  If people want to wear masks, they
are free to do so.  If they don't want to wear masks, they are free to do
so. 

We will establish a specific section of the room where masks are required so
people who only want to sit with others wearing a mask feel more
comfortable. Of course, individuals are also welcome to participate in the
meeting via Zoom.
