[Ohio-talk] Chapter update from Cincinnati

[rchpay7 at gmail.com]

I would like to thank you for your commitment and wish you better health and
rewards. You have served the blind community in fine fashion. Thanks again.
To the new officers lets go build the federation.

Richard Payne,  President
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back

Subject: [Ohio-talk] Chapter update from Cincinnati

Hello NFB Ohio,
Yesterday, the Cincinnati chapter held elections, and this message is to
bring you news of the new leadership roster here in the Queen City. 
First, a word about incumbents staying or moving on.
As president for the last four years, it was time for me to rearrange
commitments. 
While I was physically absent for several months this year, in hospitals,
rehab centers, and recovering in Florida, my Vice President, Lisa Hall ably
presided over meetings and carried the chapter forward.  (Happy birthday, by
the way, Lisa!) It has been wonderful being back at the helm since Labor
Day, but time for me to better manage time and commitments. I have cut back
somewhat on my teaching load, but am up to working 40 to 50 hours per week,
juggling a list of writing contracts and my work with the National Library
Service. I will, of course, continue working to support the Federation in
every way possible, but not, for now,  in an official capacity.
Two of our incumbent board members, David Perry and Kim McEachirn have also
stepped down for personal reasons. Thank you, David, Kim, Lisa, and to all
for your service.  

Our new slate of officers and board members, each of whom will assume duties
in January 2018,  is as follows:
President: Sheri Albers
Vice president: Deanna Lewis
Treasurer: Emily Pennington
Secretary:, Christopher Sabine
Board members: Paul Jordan, Annie McEachirn Carson, Paul Dressell.

Congratulations all!

Best,
Deborah
