[Tall-Corn] Breakout Sessions At State Convention

[iceje89 at gmail.com]

Helen:

I've registered for the convention, but don't remember having the option of
requesting certain breakout sessions beforehand.  That's a good idea, in my
point of view.  The one that most interests me is the history one.  I
definitely will attend that.

Subject: [Tall-Corn] Breakout Sessions At State Convention

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is making plans to attend our NFBI convention in just 44
days.

For those of you who have not registered yet, when you go to register, you
will notice that the form asks you to choose what breakout sessions you
would most like to attend. Since holding the breakout sessions Saturday
afternoon is new, we want to get your input before setting the final
schedule so that we can arrange things for as many people as possible to
attend their top two choices. For example, if we have fifteen people who
want to attend both the At Large meeting and the history session, we will
make sure to schedule those two sessions at different times. We will also be
assigning room locations for the sessions based on how many people want to
attend. 

Here is additional information on the breakout sessions:
Saturday afternoon we will be holding two sets of breakout sessions, one
from 2:00-3:15 and the second from 3:30-4:45. we want to plan the timing of
which sessions we offer when so that as many people as possible can attend
both their first and second choices.  

Annual meeting of the At large chapter of the national Federation of the
Blind of Iowa Informal meeting of blind parents to share parenting
strategies and techniques Informal meeting of blind students with
discussions related to challenges faced by students, as well as strategies
for advocating and making sure you get everything you need to be successful
National Federation of the Blind of Iowa fundraising strategy session Iowa
blindness history gathering session Parents of blind children session to
discuss resources and strategies

This is one more reason why submitting your registration form as soon as
possible will really help the planning committee, and we thank everyone who
has submitted your registration already.

As a reminder, if you would like help applying for a Gifts and Bequests
grant, finding a roommate, or finding others to travel with to convention,
please reach out and we will be happy to help.

NFBI Convention Planning Committee
