From nfb-capb at nfbnet.org Thu Jul 8 01:04:29 2021 From: nfb-capb at nfbnet.org (Jennifer Dunnam via NFB-CAPB) Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2021 20:04:29 -0500 Subject: [NFBNJ-Braille-Committee] NFB-CAPB Our Agenda Message-ID: All, The agenda is pasted below. As you will see, it is packed; not only that, but there were additional folks asking to be on the agenda. I have learned that there is a bit of cushion in the meeting space availability if the meeting needs to run over, but we won?t go past 12:15 if that. Maybe next year?s committee will need a longer time slot. Anyway, thanks so, so much to everyone who helped come up with ideas and resources for this meeting. Talk with you tomorrow.
