First, just a reminder about tomorrow’s affiliate caucus starting at 1015 AM central time. The invite will be below for your convenience. If you have any questions about connecting to that, please let me know. We’ll have a lot of ground to cover in our time together, so please be on time!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Second, resolutions are posted! You can find them at<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.nfb.org/resources/speeches-and-reports/resolutions/2020-resolutions">https://www.nfb.org/resources/speeches-and-reports/resolutions/2020-resolutions</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and also on NFB newsline. I encourage everyone to look at them as we will be looking at them tomorrow to see if there are any problematic ones I should be aware of before voting begins on Saturday! We will not have time to go through everything as there are 29 of them under consideration, so please do a bit of homework!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There are some updated Zoom links and ID’s for the general sessions for Friday an Saturday. If you copied them down before yesterday morning’s updates, please revisit them to get the correct ones. The ones for Friday are good for both sessions, and the ones for Saturday cover all of the general sessions and banquet. Please let me know if there are any questions there.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Finally, I have been made aware of a couple of problems regarding the voting platform that’s being used, particularly with regards to text confirmations and voting by phone We are looking into the issues and do have a backup voting plan in place. Please let me know if there are issues during tonight’s general session should a vote come up, and I know there will be at least one opportunity.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Speaking of tonight, please join the general session starting at 6:00 PM central! This will have many of the familiar elements, including the celebration of freedom, and of course the roll call of states! Hope to see you there! Please let me know if there are any questions or issues along the way. Now for the caucus reminder!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Topic: Iowa Affiliate Caucus<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time: Jul 17, 2020 10:15 AM Central Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>https://zoom.us/j/7941099792?pwd=UHRXTEZLamFoNzA1djg1dEdpQVl3UT09<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 794 109 9792<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Password: 6324692<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+12532158782,,7941099792# US (Tacoma)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+13462487799,,7941099792# US (Houston)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dial by your location<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 794 109 9792<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abjQOd7UzK<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join by Skype for Business<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://zoom.us/skype/7941099792">https://zoom.us/skype/7941099792</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Scott Van Gorp, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa<br>Phone: 515-720-5282<br></span><a href="mailto:svangorp@nfbi.org"><span style='color:#0563C1'>Email</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfbi.org/"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Website</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Facebook</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Twitter</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br>Live the life you want.<br></span></i><br>The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
