Good Evening Federation Family:

At long last, I can share the three Washington Seminar issues an fact
sheets. Of course you can also find this information at

www.nfb.org/washington-seminar <http://www.nfb.org/washington-seminar> 

I'll paste the links for both the word and HTML so people can grab what they
want. Two of these issues are holdovers from last year and the third is
brand new!

We also have two trainings coming up, and even if you're not going to
Washington Seminar, it might be good to attend at least the detailed issues
one on Thursday to get a sense of the issues in case you do end up speaking
with someone about them  

Issues Training

Thursday, January 12, 8:00 p.m. ET

This training is for all affiliate presidents, legislative directors, and
group leaders. We will review each of the three issues in detail including
frequently asked questions. 

Mock meetings

Wednesday, January 18, 8:00 p.m. ET

This training is for all affiliate presidents, legislative directors, and
group leaders. We will conduct two mock meetings so that members can learn
how to present our issues including problem definition, legislative
highlights, and frequently asked questions.

The Zoom information for all four calls will be the same and is included
below. Please pass this invitation on to others in your affiliate who might
benefit from this training.
