Last month we held our first Board meeting in the Cloud, using the popular
Zoom platform. The very important instructions for calling into the meeting
follow my signature. There are several ways to access the meeting, so simply
find the method that is most convenient for you.
We hope you will join us on these calls, as we
always look forward to your participation. By joining us, you can give

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.
USING ZOOM
Although traditional conference call dialing is available, we recommend
using the free Zoom app for the best audio quality and functionality. The
app is easy to use and is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, and
Mac.
If you don't already have the app installed, you will be prompted to do so
when activating the below Zoom link. Installing the app ahead of time will
give you the opportunity to customize it to your preference.
