Vivian gave an update on OCB and the summer work experience program (SWEP)
students.

The program which is usually in person with the students staying in dorms,
however with the virus, they held it by zoom and phone calls.

The students said that they still enjoyed the program and that in some ways
it pushed them to work harder, because they had to budget their time so they
did not miss the calls.

Corine says the independent program is having budget issues and not being
able to see people in person is working out but there are struggles.

National Convention:

This was  Patrick's first convention. He liked the  break out session for
Microsoft. he also Liked the genral sessions, and he enjoyed roll call of
states.

Vivian talked about accessible electronic  voteing. Where a person can go on
line and click on a secureweb site, where they can fill and review and edit
their ballot. Then they can e-mail it.

During the meeting there were comments reguarding the  unreliability of the
post office and  paper ballots not making it to be counted.

Katie attended the Fund raising during the pamdemic, Membership building and
blind not color blind.
