NFBO Agenda for September 17 board meeting

You will find in the body of this email the agenda for the board of
directors meeting this Saturday. Note I have been asked a number of times
what time will the meeting end but depending on how much we cover before
noon will play a part in the end time. I will say that you should be pretty
safe to arrange rides between 2:30p and 3:00 PM

Museums Association is having its annual conference in Newark in March.
Their theme for the 2023 conference is inclusion. I would like to submit a
proposal for us to sponsor a panel regarding how museums can make their
exhibits accessible to blind and low vision patrons. a broader proposal for
working with an Ohio arts organization to promote other art accessibility
projects in terms of alternative formats in performance venues and promoting
performance opportunities for blind performers. In fact, I have heard back
from one small theater in Columbus that may be interested in such an effort.
