[NFB-Oregon-Announce] Washington Seminar Priorities | National Federation of the Blind

[president at nfb-oregon.org]

Greetings All,

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe.

The Washington Seminar is scheduled for February 8 through the 11th.  All of our meetings with our Oregon Members of Congress will be virtual, on the Zoom platform.  This will make iteasier for a greater number of our members to attend our congressional meetings.

The Seminar begins on Monday, February 8th at 5 PM Pacific, with the Great Gathering In Meeting.  This is when we get up to the minute information about our issues, as well as announcements from President Riccobono.  I encourage all of you to attend that meeting.  The Zoom information will come out in the next week.

While we do not have confirmation on the meetings times, we have requested meetings for the February 9th-11th, between 8 AM and 3 PM pascific time.  When we confirm the meeting times and dates, I will send them out on this list.

If you are interested in participating in any of the meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, please respond with the following information:

1.  Name
2. Name of your Congressional Representative
3. Times you are available to attend meetings on those days and times

Please nnote that everyone present will not have a speaking role during these meetings.  We are hoping for dozens of people to be at each of the meetings, so we will be selecting a few people to make presentations to our members of congress.  We wouuld prefer that the presenters be constituents of the Member of Congress with whom we are meeting.

We will require that those NFB members who are presenting plan to be on camera and dressed professionally.

Here is the link to the 4 Legislative Priorities we are bringing to Congress next month.
