Hi All,
I'm resending the NABS Winter Meeting Agenda because I think it's really
important everyone has this information. I realize that some of you are unable
to attend the meeting, but the agenda should give you a taste of what's to
come at the Summer meeting as well as future Washington Seminars. Also, please
keep in mind that this is an extremely abbreviated agenda and has been
shortened so that participants can attend Dr. Z's Memorial. Please consider
attending the Winter and Summer NABS meetings in the future.
I don't yet have information about whether the meeting will be streamed.
I'll send out information once I receive it.
Yours,
Ronza Othman, President
Illinois Association of Blind Students
