Hello NFBV Family!
Your Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee has been watching recent events
in our United States and are hearing much worried chatter about the world
and future of DEI. More than we realize, DEI is woven into the fabric of
countless programs, from the VA to education and far beyond! We want to
pull our membership together to hear from a panel of "experts" who will help
us understand what has happened, how it will affect our blind and low vision
community, and explore, together, how we can support our community and even
influence the trajectory of changes to come.
This public forum, our Fireside Chat, will take place on Wednesday, February
19th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Zoom. Here is the link:

Our seniors met and we decided to have a presentation about the National
Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) Alexa skills which
can be used by those who are registered library patrons. Patty Droppers,
our Seniors Division President, is very proficient with this Alexis skill
and she will share her knowledge on Tuesday, February, 25th, on our
affiliate zoom, starting at 7 PM.
If you are a NLS Member with an Alexis, this is one presentation you dont
want to miss!
