[NFBWATlk] NFB Washington Seminar updates

[Marci Carpenter]

Good afternoon,

We have selected our 2023 NFB Washington Seminar delegates. We are excited to have members from six of our ten congressional districts in attendance. They are:

Amandeep Kaur - District 2
Audrie Meraki -  District 5
Kris Colcock - District 6
Marci Carpenter - District 7
Kristin Geary - District 7
Buna Dahal - District 9  (Buna was not part of our delegate selection. She will be coordinating all of the DC hotel arrangements and will also be attending some of our appointments.)
May Tran - District 10

Audrie, Kristin and May are first-time attendees.

The 2023 Washington Seminar will be in person. Some of our meetings at the hotel will be streamed. Links will be sent as soon as they are available. We will need everyone here at home to help with follow-up emails and phone calls to our Senators and Representatives. We want everyone to be familiar with our issues so I am including the Zoom information for the first training session. It will be tomorrow, December 20, at 5 PM Pacific. 

Since this will be a new session of Congress all current bills that we want to continue with will need to be reintroduced and will have new bill numbers. Remember that we follow and work on more bills than the ones we focus on for Washington Seminar. Our three issues for the seminar week are:

Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act
Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act
Eliminating the SSDI Earnings Cliff

Please attend the training session to learn more details.

Thanks,

Marci
