[Ohio-Talk] Deadline

[Richard Payne]

Greetings the deadline is here:

To allow time for planning unless you have talked to me or received an email
invite you must respond today to be considered.

Washington Seminar
At our Washington Seminar, members of the National Federation of the Blind
convene to learn about and advocate for legislative initiatives that will
improve the lives of blind Americans.
 Approximately three legislative initiatives are chosen for priority
attention each year. These initiatives, which form the Washington Seminar
priorities
<https://www.nfb.org/programs-services/advocacy/washington-seminar/washingto
n-seminar-priorities> , are based on the official positions of the NFB
adopted at the national convention
<https://nfb.org/resources/speeches-and-reports/resolutions>  and can
address concerns related to civil rights, educational programs and services,
rehabilitation of the blind for competitive employment, the operation of
vending facilities by blind persons on public property, specialized library
services for the blind, the organization and funding of federal programs,
Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income programs, and
other timely topics.
The first Washington Seminar took place in 1973. Today, more than five
hundred people from the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico typically attend.
Dates and Location

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.
