I think history is more important especially if new or potentially new members come to the seminar.

Hi all,Ok, so I am rewriting the agenda for the seminar. With the school and employment panels; having put all three people talking about similar topics together, that pretty much cut the seminar in half. Which topic is more interesting to include? History of the federation/student division, or accessible phones? I need input from everyone so I know how to proceed with this.Thanks,Tara  From: nmabs-bounces at nfbnet.org [mailto:nmabs-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Monica Martinez

This makes sense.  We don't want to beat some topics to "death."MonicaOn Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 12:23 PM, NMABS President <nmabs.president at gmail.com> wrote:Hi,
I think we are taking both phones and history out this year. We will have a
school panel and an employment panel. Does this sound reasonable? I will
send the minutes regarding seminar and an updated agenda to the group this
afternoon. I'd like everyone's thoughts on it ASAP so we can promote the
event.
Thanks,
Tara

While I think accessibility in phones would be a good topic, I think that
having a tech talk would be very beneficial for students. This is a hard
decision to make for me, because if we take out the phone stuff, the
audience may not be able to learn about some very useful applications for
the phones like the money identifiers for the iPhone, or even the KNFB
reader. But at the same time, I know that we have time constraints, and we
don't want to waste too much time on something that's not as important as
other topics. I really like the idea of a tech lecture, and I think it might
be better to leave the phone panel out this year. Perhaps we could save that
for the seminar at the State Convention?
