[Cabs] National Advocacy Skills seminar to be Held at National Convention

[Monika]

Wow, that sounds like fun. Wish I was able to go to the National Convention this year and learn even more about the NFB and blindness. I hope those of you who do get to go, have an awesome time.

  The Art of Advocacy: Practical preparation for Representative Responsibilities
   
   
  Please join us for the second annual National Advocacy Skills seminar to be held during the national convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday, July 4, 2007, from 2:00-8:00 p.m. in Room A707, Atrium Level, of the Marriott Marquis headquarters hotel. A one-hour dinner recess will occur from 5:00-6:00 p.m. to accommodate the length of this year's advocacy program.
   
  An impressive array of nationally recognized experts are scheduled to discuss advocacy topics including: the art of public speaking, hands-on strategies for effective writing, individual advocacy techniques that can be adopted by all representatives, and a treasure-trove of obscure resources for the resourceful advocate. Blindness-specific areas of concentration will focus on special education and vocational rehabilitation. This expanded, interactive agenda is sure to enable the aspiring advocate to hone his or her skills, cultivate a stronger sense of self-confidence, and take away practical tips that will last for a lifetime. 
   
  Several presenters anticipate circulating useful handouts to supplement their remarks. While participants are not required to pre-register for this seminar, if you know that you will be attending, please send your preferred format choice (print or Braille) to Dan Frye, seminar convener, to the contact information provided at the bottom of this announcement.
   
  Our keynote speaker, NFB First Vice-President Dr. Fredric K. Schroeder and our concluding presenter, NFB Secretary Gary Wunder, both promise to inspire and motivate seminar participants with their personal perspectives and advice. You won't want to miss this dynamic seminar. It will make a difference to you and to those you ultimately represent. Come join us and learn to be a quality Federation advocate. You are most welcome.
   
  For further information, please contact Daniel B. Frye­Manager of Affiliate Action­Advocacy and Training, at (410) 659-9314 Ext. 2208 or via E-Mail at dfrye at nfb.org.
