[Ohio-talk] Reminders 2018 committees and Washington seminar.

[Richard Payne]

This is a reminder that if you wish to serve on the 2019 state committees,
which you should be willing to serve on then send me an email letting me
know that. 

You should also be aware that the deadline for submitting your request to go
to the Washington seminar is December first. I need to know so we can
reserve rooms.  I wish you all a great holiday season.

                

                I am pasting  the 2018 committee appointments below.

 

I will be glad to answer questions if they are needed but not on the list.
Please feel free to email me directly especially if you are an member of the
board of directors. Please let me know which committees you would like to
serve on by December  01.

 

If you want to chair a committee let me know that as well. I will take that
under  consideration. 

 

Also you will not be put on the committee just because you desire.   Just
because you were the chair previously or on a  particular committee this
year that will not confirm your being on the new committee.            If
you believe you should chair a committee let me know in detail why.

Do not assume anything. Right now this list is blank.

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
