[Tall-Corn] Breakout Sessions At State Convention

[bray at nfbi.org]

Jonathan, I would have been disappointed if you hadn't said you
wanted to be part of the history session. I will be one of the
people leading that session and we need people who have been part
of what we have done over the years and can help plug in events
and details.

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.

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.

Helen Mejia
NFBI Convention Planning Committee
