>>> The Following Comes from NABS board member Justin Salisbury  regarding an opportunity that student division leaders looking to build their membership  will not want to miss out on.

>>> Colleagues:

>>>  
>>> 
>>> So, we have an idea.  We?re putting on a student seminar, a student division social, or a fun activity at the state convention.  We know how to run it, who will speak, what kind of food we want, but now?how do we get people to attend?  Who do we invite?  How do we spread the word?
>>> 
>>>  
>>> 
>>> We once struggled with these questions in the North Carolina Association of Blind Students, and we devised a solution: create an advertising directory for our state.  With four people working on the project for only about two months, we realized that it was, in fact, possible. 
>>> 
>>>  
>>> 
>>> The system is simple. A division can create a directory of disability contacts at all universities, community colleges, and trade schools in its state.  As soon as we had organized this directory, advertising our events became much simpler.  We did it all in Microsoft Excel, too.
>>> 
>>>  
>>> 
>>> The NABS Membership Committee has been hosting a series of conference call workshops, which I have been leading, where we will explain and discuss how to organize and best use an advertising directory for student division events in your state.
>>> 
>>>  
>>> 
>>> The last two of these conference call workshops will be held:
>>> 
>>>  
>>> 
>>> Sunday, March 2
>>> 
>>> 8:00 PM eastern

>>> Tuesday, March 4

>>> Dial (605) 475-6700

Greetings Fellow Students!

  For all of what we do in the federation, it is always important to remember  that every bit of it is rooted in our philosophy; our unshakeable belief in blind people.
 our philosophy is expressed in  many different ways.  One of those ways is our many  riveting banquet speeches.
 These speeches have been given over the years  by some of our greatest leaders and illustrate clearly our  beliefs on the true abilities of the blind and our relentless pursuit of full integration on the basis of equality.
  On sunday, may 16, the National   Association of Blind Students presents a philosophy discussion  based on the speech ?blindness: a left-handed dissertation?.
 We are happy to have Sarah Patnaude as our moderator for this call.
 Sarah is president of our Virginia Association of Blind Students  and a member  of the membership committee of the National Association of Blind Students.
 For those of you who may not be familiar with the speech; you can find it here:https://nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/convent/blndnesl.htm.

 So to recap?
