[Trainer-Talk] NFB ATI division meeting convention agenda

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Petras:

Currently the only 2 ways to pay dues and register are in-person at the meeting or online through the NFB membership management portal. On the division dues form (linked to below), select the list of divisions, then select "Assistive Technology Trainers." Please note that records of dues paid through this portal go to the NFB national office before they come to us. So, even if you pay online, it would be very helpful to the board if you register in-person so we have your contact info. If you've paid online, please indicate that to us at the meeting. Here's the link: https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=52

See you in Austin!
