Announcement

>From the NFBJI Legislative Team

Announcing the 2013
National Federation of the Blind
Legislative Directors
Congressional Action Planning (CAP)
Seminar


What:        NFB Affiliate Legislative Directors Seminar

Who:         Legislative Directors from each NFB Affiliate
                    (Affiliate Presidents are also welcome to attend)

When:      February 2-4, 2013.

Where:     National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute (NFBJI)


The Legislative Directors of each NFB affiliate are invited to attend a
Congressional Action Planning seminar.  During this two-day seminar,
participants will learn about the history of the blindness movement, the
best practices for developing relationships with members of Congress, and
the 2013 Legislative Agenda of Blind Americans.  We will also be unveiling a
new tool that will assist us in documenting and coordinating our legislative
activities.

Rather than flying into D.C. for the Great Gathering-In, we are asking that
the Legislative Directors of each affiliate schedule their Washington
Seminar travel so that they arrive at the NFB Jernigan Institute on
Saturday, February 2, 2013.  All participants must arrive before 5:00 p.m.
EST.  The seminar will last until 1:00 p.m. EST on Monday, February 4, 2013.
Lodging, meals, and transportation from the NFBJI to the Holiday Inn
Washington-Capitol will be provided by our national office.

Mark your calendars!  Our Washington Seminar will be February 4-7, 2013,
with the Great Gathering-In taking place on Monday evening.  Additional
information for both the Legislative Directors Seminar and Washington
Seminar will be sent as we get closer to the events.  In the interim, please
provide us with the following information:

Name of Legislative Director:
Telephone Number:

Will the Affiliate President be Attending?
