Chapter and division leaders,



We are excited to invite you to the MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE SEMINAR:  NEW 
GENERATION SOLUTIONS FOR GROWING OUR AFFILIATES AND CHAPTERS-REMOVING OLD 
BARRIERS.  It will be held on Tuesday, July 2 from 7:45 - 9:00PM in 
Signature 2 Room, level 2. You will have lots of choices as to how to spend 
your Tuesday evening, but if you are interested in a dynamic exchange of 
ideas between local leaders of our movement, this is the seminar for you.



Because the Federation is a grass roots movement, nurturing and growing our 
chapter and divisions is what makes us thrive.  As local leaders, it is 
important to have modern day approaches to growing our chapters, divisions, 
and affiliates.  This seminar will be PARTICIPANT DRIVEN so please send us 
your input and ideas.



Along with discussions about growing our affiliates through At Large 
Chapters, entering the world of social media, the importance of personal 
attention, growing our Hispanic membership, and other exciting topics, we 
will be collecting YOUR questions.  We want to know what to help answer your 
questions about chapter, division, and affiliate growth.  Please send your 
questions to me at jbeecham at nfbco.org by June 25th.  I will be compiling the 
questions for the committee so that we can be prepared with the most 
effective answers to your questions.



We are also interested to know what tools and support you our your chapter 
need from the national office that are not currently available.  If you have 
suggestions in advance of convention please send them to 
jerniganinstitute at nfb.org .  You may also bring your ideas with you to the 
meeting in Braille on index cards.



We look forward to having each of you and your awesome ideas and input in 
the meeting!  Don't forget to e-mail me your questions!  Because chapter, 
division, and affiliate growth is vital to the livelihood of this 
organization, I believe it is crucial that chapter, division, and affiliate 
presidents and/or other key chapter, division, and affiliate leaders are in 
attendance.  I will be at the meeting and am excited to hear the chapter 
development tips and tricks that each of you have to share.





Best Wishes



Jessica Beecham
