Good morning I wanted to congratulate the newly elected board members.  I am 
so glad that the convention was a great success.  I want to extend a hand to 
the new officers.  There are many issues that I believe  need to be on the 
affiliates agenda.  For example amending our States White cane law.  Second 
I believe that working on issues related to improving Blindness 
rehabilitation services across the State is extremely important.  The better 
Blind Floridians are prepared  the better chance they have of living the 
lives they want.  Working with our school districts to make sure that every 
blind child has the education they deserve is also important.  The nfbf also 
needs to work on issues related to Blind Seniors.  Another issue that we as 
an organization neet to work on is the People first employment websight.  It 
is the State of Florida's employment information system.  Some of us 
including my self are working behind the scenes on this issue.  Those of us 
who are guide dog users need to continue to work on educating the public 
about the rights of guide dog users.  I would like to propose that the board 
schedule a meeting that would be open to the membership to express there 
concerns and or ideas in terms of the nfbf.  and  or bring up ideas in terms 
of growing chapters.  The meeting could be scheduled every other month.  The 
meeting would assist the board in better connecting with the membership. 
Congrats and lets get to work.
