[Ohio-Talk] Very important information that you need to read

[Christopher Sabine]

Richard. I also apologize if there was any miscommunication. I sent the below message verbatim to the Cinci-Talk list as well as to other members by text. My understanding is that State Convention is still going ahead, but will be held virtually with the Board meeting rescheduled to its previously scheduled date on September 18 and also being held virtually. The current time and date for the Board meeting on Saturday Sept 18 was the date previously agreed to at the last Board meeting in April, prior to the Columbus Seminar being scheduled in June. Columbus Seminar is being cancelled, with the Board meeting reverting to the previously scheduled date and being held virtually. That is my understanding and what I am communicating to our membership.

Again, my apologies for any miscommunication.

Chris

I have told two people that the NFB Ohio State convention will not be an in-person event, but it will likely be a virtual event. That is what I understood the words "the Ohio State Convention is also canceled as an in-person event"
to mean.
Sorry if I somehow misunderstood.

Dear Ohio Members and Partners,

Insight of the rising COVID-19 cases in Ohio, the Ohio Board of Directors has made an Executive decision not to hold an in-person  Columbus Seminar nor Job Seeker Seminar this year.

Although this important event has been canceled, we will continue to work pushing our legislative initiatives. Please continue to contact your Ohio representatives to co-sponsor the Parental Rights Bill in the Ohio House and Senate. More will be coming forth from the NFBO Legislative Team chaired by Eric Duffy.

I understand that there may be questions. However, allow time and patience to guide you; as the Board of Directors are diligently working together to execute additional virtual endeavors in Ohio.

With that said, the Ohio State Convention is also canceled as an in-person event. Again, stay tuned for more updates to come! At this time, the Ohio Board of Director's meeting still will be held, just  virtually on the Ohio Zoom Platform, on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Convention and additional NFBO matters will be discussed. 

Presidents, please ensure that your Chapter members are aware of this important meeting and provide necessary information on how to enter the Zoom Room. I am imploring all members to be present at the Ohio Board meeting.  

Thank you all for your cooperation, patience and understanding.

Please stay safe and protected!

You should check with the hotel about rooms that we did not arrange or that were changed contact me off list if you have any questions or concerns.
