[Rehab] [Jobs] Employment Committee Events at National Convention

[Ericka Nelson]

 I can’t afford to attend. Could at least to the job seekers seminar and
 the upward mobility seminars be recorded  and archive so we can get them
later from NFB.org?

 It doesn’t seem fair that those of us who can’t afford to attend miss out.
There’s really important information in the sessions.
