The National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division, a strong and
proud division of the National Federation of the Blind, is seeking
enthusiastic, hardworking members to serve on our blindness and
entertainment committee.  As an offshoot of the Let Us Play Us campaign,
this committee will become the arm of the Performing Arts Division that
cultivates connections in Hollywood and increases our organizations
presence in the discussion of blindness in the entertainment industry.  If
you are interested in securing opportunity, equality, and full integration
in all aspects of the entertainment industry, please consider how you can
help us.  Our immediate goals involve establishing partnerships in
education to identify blind talent for prospective opportunities and
creating informational resources highlighting the capabilities of blind
performers for the benefit of entertainment industry professionals. If you
are a performer, have connections in the entertainment industry, or happen
to be a creative worker with interest and ideas related to blindness and
entertainment, please email us at nfbpad at gmail.com. We would like to hear
from you by Friday, November 1 so we can get started with this exciting
work as soon as possible!

We look forward to raising expectations of blind performers and increasing
representation on screen and stage together!


Sincerely,

Julie A. McGinnity
President, National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division
