[nabs-l] Seeking Speakers for GABS Monthly Teleconference

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi LaKeisha,

If she would accept my recommendation, I would suggest Arielle 
Silverman.  She is very familiar with Washington Seminar, as she 
has shown in her posts to this list, and I think she would be a 
great resource for your students.  Hope this helps and good luck 
in finding speakers! By the way, I couldn't help but notice that 
you have the "real problem of blindness" quote from Dr.  Jernigan 
in your email signature! I finally found a person who has that 
quote in their signature besides me; yea! * Smile!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Teleconference

Good afternoon,
My name is LaKeisha Holmes and I was recently elected as 
president of the Georgia Association of Blind Students.  We have 
teleconferences every fourth Sunday of each month geared towards 
different topics.  Our teleconference next month will be focusing 
on Washington Seminar.  I would like for our students to hear 
from a fellow student who has experienced the Washington Seminar 
and who is familiar with the three legislative topics for this 
upcoming seminar.  If you are interested in speaking with the 
Georgia students, please contact me at lakeisha.renee at gmail.com.
Thank you
LaKeisha Holmes
