[Tall-Corn] Fwd: Special Iowa Commission for the Blind Meeting September 29, 2026

[Helen Mejia]

Good evening NFBI,
Please see the below announcement. This looks like a very simple meeting to approve a different 2028 budget request from the one approved two weeks ago. It looks like interim Director Willeford has found ways to shift expenses around to lower the cost increase the department is requesting. I’m planning to attend the meeting tomorrow to learn more, but from reading the explanation included in the board packet, this seems quite positive.
