This program will discuss ways in which we can build safe, stronger, and more connected communities by building an organizational culture of consent. We will emphasize youth as a part of this training and it will cover our evolving understanding of consent and how you can help with promoting a safer community by understanding techniques for bystander intervention, as well as other crucial topics. We are requiring this training for all affiliate staff on Project RISE, BELL Academy, and Silver Bells. However, we are opening up this training opportunity to all affiliate members with a strong recommendation that chapter presidents, leadership institute participants, board officers and board members attend. This session will not be recorded so you will need to be present on zoom to benefit from this valuable content. We are thrilled to partner with the Consent Academy, and hope you can participate in this excellent training opportunity. The session will take place on the affiliate zoom and the connection info can be found below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Zoom Link <a href="https://zoom.us/j/8297256345?pwd=SFAyamlQNU44ZTJ6dUZNMTV4RmhCQT09">https://zoom.us/j/8297256345?pwd=SFAyamlQNU44ZTJ6dUZNMTV4RmhCQT09</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>tel: +13017158592,,8297256345# <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Telephone Dial: 1 (301) 715-8592<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 829 725 6345# <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If needed the password is 20201940<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <span style='color:#222222'><br>Peace,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#222222'>Jacki Bruce<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#222222'>Corresponding Secretary, National Federation of the Blind of Virginia<br><a href="mailto:jackibruce6@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>mailto:jackibruce6@gmail.com</span></a></span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='color:#222222'><a href="tel:(757)291-1789" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>tel:(757)291-1789</span></a></span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='color:#222222'><a href="http://www.nfb.org/" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>www.nfb.org</span></a></span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='color:#222222'><a href="http://www.nfbv.org/" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>www.nfbv.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#222222'>Follow us on Twitter @NFBVirginia<br>Find us on Facebook @NationalFederationoftheBlindofVirginia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#222222'>Live the life you want.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#222222'>The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
