Subject: Re: [nabs-l] New Board
I would Just like to Publicly congratulate (in no particular
order
the following folks: Nijat Worley, Isaiah Wilcox, and Janice
jeang.)
These are people I have personally worked with and can speak to
their
efforts and talents as far as the positive progression of nabs
goes.
I have learned from and grown with these individuals and am
happy to
have had the chance to have worked with them.
To Arielle Silverman, our past nabs president:
My deepest appreciation to you in helping me grow into the
leader I
am at this point. You have done alot for me personally, but to
a
larger extent, a great deal for the national association of blind
students. You have been a voice of reason, a seeker of common
ground,
and the lendse that has focused us on the main vision, where we
should always be focused twards - bettering and supporting the
National Federation of the Blind.
Each of you have plans that take you in different directions
in
life, butI know you will always be a support to the student
division
and of the larger movement. So, Best wishes to you all and,
well,
it's not "good-bye" it's "see you soon"
With Much Love and appreciation
Darian Smith

Hi all,
I would just like to take a moment to congratulate the newly
elected
NABS board. I would also like to thank all those who helped to
make
our student division seminar and business meeting a success: all
the
members of the former NABS board for their help with
registration,
election management, and door prizes, and all those volunteers
who
assisted with marshalling and vote counting. Your assistance
was
invaluable in allowing me to focus on chairing the seminar and
election process without having to redirect my attention to
these
details. While the elections took a long time with many
candidates
running and several counted contests, I believe they were
conducted in
a fair and organized fashion, and I can attribute this to the
competence of all those who worked together to count votes. If
you
have feedback about the elections process or how it can be
improved in
the future, I would encourage you to direct this feedback to our
new
president, Sean Whalen, or to others on the new board.
Finally, I want to acknowledge those of you who ran for
positions on
the NABS board and were not elected. There were quite a few of
you,
and without naming names, I will say that I know many of you
personally and believe you have a lot to offer the student
division in
terms of ideas and service. I sincerely hope that all of you
who ran
for the NABS board will lend us your service on NABS committees,
offer
to organize new NABS committees or activities, and continue to
serve
as leaders in your state student divisions.
I wish the best of luck to the next NABS board. As past
president, I
will not meddle in the affairs of the new board, but I am always
available to offer advice or assistance if you ask for it.
Best,
Arielle Silverman

Hi all,
Typically,The Honor and Privilage of making the announcement
of the
new board goes to the President of that new board. I was going
to
make such announcement, but seeing as I am not the president,
and the
last time I had spoken to the president, he had indecated that
he
wished to do so, I had left it at that.
I understand though, that this information has made the
rounds.
This is not a secret by any stretch, and I know that everyone is
just
settling back into the post-convention swing of things.
Basically,
I just wanted to maintain that informal custom that Presidents
seem to
have.
BEst,
Darian
