[Trainer-Talk] AI Basics Get-together: July 30, 7 PM Eastern

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Fellow Trainers:

 

I’m not sure if my email last week from another account was posted to the list, as others from that account have bounced back to the server. So I’m sending it again from this account, which I know works. I apologize if this is a duplicate.

 

Those of you who were at our division meeting at national convention may remember that I mentioned an event on July 30 that my training business is hosting in partnership with Shawn Keen, creator of the AI for the Blind Facebook group, and Amena Thomas, another AT trainer. Here is the information on that event. Feel free to join us and pass on to colleagues, students and anyone else who may be interested!
