I do have a question about the elections and, maybe you could addressed it for me. Unfortunately, I won’t be attending convention this summer in person in Orlando due to medical issues that I have been dealing with since the beginning of the year and, I don’t think they will improve before convention. So, I’am going to be zooming here in Colorado.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So, here is my question is the division meeting going to be on zoom this year or not? If so as for the elections is itonly for people who are there in person or either on zoom who can vote or be a part of the elections if they aren’t there in person or not? I know we did this in 2021 and, in past years when convention was mainly on zoom due to the pamdemic?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It’s just a idea and a thought too for others besides myself too!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks again and, I will talk to you all soon!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hugs,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Amy sabo</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in"><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:perform-talk@nfbnet.org">National Federation Of The Blind Performing Arts Division via Perform-Talk</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, June 6, 2024 10:03 AM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:perform-talk@nfbnet.org">perform-talk@nfbnet.org</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:nfbpad@gmail.com">National Federation Of The Blind Performing Arts Division</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[Perform-Talk] 2024 Elections</p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,</p><p class="MsoNormal">As many of you know, during our in person business meeting at the National Federation of the Blind National Convention in Orlando, Florida, we will be holding our biannual elections on Friday, July 5, at 1 PM. As of now, three of our current board members will be continuing to run for various offices, myself, Katelyn MacIntyre, and two of our current board members, Julia LaGrand and Elizabeth Rouse. However, we are looking to elect four new leaders to treasurer, and board positions 1, 2, and 3. Please consider running if you feel you are a fit based on the guidelines below. All positions will be elected this year.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you wish to run for office, please note that you must be an active dues-paying member.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking hard-working, reliable, competent, passionate individuals who are excited about raising expectations for blind performers and promoting equality and opportunity across all levels of the entertainment industry. We welcome professional and hobbyist performers and allies in our division. You must be willing to commit to a monthly 90 minute board meeting, bimonthly membership calls, and work diligently on other special projects throughout the year suited to your skills and interests. Please remember that not being on the board does not preclude you from working hard to further the aims of this division. You can accomplish just as much while being an active member as being on the board.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Board positions to be elected:</p><p class="MsoNormal">President</p><p class="MsoNormal">Vice President</p><p class="MsoNormal">Secretary</p><p class="MsoNormal">Treasurer</p><p class="MsoNormal">Board positions one, two, and three</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">All board members are responsible for the duties traditionally associated with their offices.
