[Ohio-talk] Fwd: [BANA-Announce] BANA Spring MeetingAnnouncement for Cincinnati, Ohio

[Deborah Kendrick]

Barbara,
Yes, I can.  I was probably going to go anyway.  Could I be appointed or is 
that not necessary?
Am in guide dog training right now, by the way, so only seeing email once or 
twice a day.
Deborah

>>The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority
>>of North America are to assure literacy for
>>tactile readers through the standardization of
>>braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes
>>and facilitates the use, teaching, and
>>production of braille. It publishes rules,
>>interprets, and renders opinions pertaining to
>>braille in all existing codes. It deals with
>>codes now in existence or to be developed in the
>>future, in collaboration with other countries
>>using English braille. In exercising its
>>function and authority, BANA considers the
>>effects of its decisions on other existing
>>braille codes and formats; the ease of
>>production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
