[Ohio-Talk] Seeking ideas

[Barbara Pierce]

If the board is a state of Ohio body, they should be prepared to cover the cost of your travel. In that case, I think the down time is also covered. If you have to pay for the transportation, I would try to find someone with an interest in going to Columbus for the day. That way you might be able to pay for the gas and time of the drive both ways only.

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

> Good Evening Ohio,I don't often post but I thought I'd reach out and see if any of you might have some ideas or suggestions that might work for me.  Here's my situation....I have unique and exciting opportunity, in both a professional as well as personal capacity, to apply and possibly be chosen to be on a state advisory panel.  I am very interested in it and feel I meet the criteria they are seeking.  It will require though that I travel at least a half dozen times a year to the Columbus area for all day meetings.  The meetings will not necessarily occur at the same location...in fact, they even state "various locations".  I would be coming from the Canton area (Stark County).  My one concern with this situation is the transportation.  How would you do it if you were me?  I'd consider paying a driver as a possibility... but what the heck do they do for 8 hrs?  I mean, it surely doesn't make sense for them to drive 2 hrs down and 2 hrs back to Canton...and then repeat to come back and get me?  But do I want to pay them for 8 hrs?  How do any of you handle a situation such as this??  Thoughts or ideas?!Thanks in advance,Nicole
